Why Hurricane Beryl's 'insane' intensification has experts worried


Hurricane Beryl has intensified into a historic Category 5 storm and is now packing potentially catastrophic 165-mile-per-hour sustained winds as it churns towards Jamaica after making landfall on Grenada's Carriacou Island Monday.



The hurricane, the first to reach Category 5 status so early in the season, made history in several ways, and none of them are good news, experts say.

Not unexpected after an El nino event. Actual records on hurricanes over the ocean are quite short in the big picture. Since 1946 I believe.

Breaking records, so to speak, will be quite common until you have a several hundred year run of data for a reasonable baseline. 

No actual basis for using the term 'insane intensification'.  That sounds like hyperbole with an aim for creating some weather hysteria.
