DMLNewsApp and TeamDML.com founder Dennis Michael Lynch is asking some serious questions as the warnings about a deadly hurricane barreling toward Florida grow even more severe and it’s winds have increased to a catastrophic 180-miles-per-hour.

From Fox Weather: Mandatory evacuations are underway across the west coast of Florida as millions of residents prepare for life-threatening impacts from Hurricane Milton, which continues to rapidly intensify over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and strengthened into a powerful Category 5 storm with winds of 180 mph.

Milton continues to be a monster storm and near record-breaking hurricane. According to the FOX Forecast Center, the hurricane has the second-lowest pressure on record in the Gulf of Mexico and the lowest pressure in the Atlantic since 2005.

At 180 mph, Milton is the strongest Atlantic hurricane in 5 years since Hurricane Dorian in 2019. Milton is also tied for the fourth strongest storm since record keeping began. Hurricane Allen with 190 mph winds holds the record for the strongest Atlantic hurricane.

Fox35Orlando meteorologist Noah Bergren announced Monday evening:

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH.

This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth’s atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

DML responded: “I can’t believe I’m writing this because it goes against everything I’ve stood for in a respectable 20 year career, but I don’t think this is Mother Nature working alone. Why do I feel like this?”

In a Facebook post, DML elaborated with the following statement:

“Noah Bergman is a weatherman out of Orlando. I’ve attached a screenshot of what he posted at 8:30pm about Milton on Twitter (X). I see his comments, I see NC, I see where Milton mysteriously started, and when I combine it all together I see something that seems off / questionable / wrong.

“I have shunned conspiracy artists my entire life, so I can’t believe I’m posting the following statement because it goes against everything I’ve stood for in a respectable 20 year career, BUT…

“I must state that my gut says this hurricane, nor the one before it, is NOT the result of Mother Nature working alone. Why do I feel like this is all manipulated somehow (and I don’t mean from our SUVs)?

“It sounds totally crazy to me — I have to double read my own words. Either I need to retire because I’ve suddenly gone punchy in the brain, or my always faithful gut is as spot on as it was in 2020 when it told me not to take the jab, and in 2010 when it told me to film the border to prove it wasn’t secure like Obama and Napolitano claimed.
Milton & Helene is like marrying AI with a script from a sci-fi film, only this isn’t CGI or a deep fake — this hell is real. The death toll could be unthinkable.”

In another social media post, Bergren explained:

One thing we are watching now is potential ERC (eyewall replacement cycle) beginning. Pressure / wind may have temporarily peaked. Some of the hurricane models have suggested multiple eyewall replacement cycles through Tuesday. For tonight, it is possible this eyewall replacement is quick then we see another dip even stronger overnight with lower pressure and even higher winds.

These eyewall replacement cycles will have impacts on how the storm comes into FL Wednesday night. Eventually these should grow the eye and core with time. If the cycles are finished before it hits the wind shear, that could make it a little more resilient to the wind shear. A smaller eye and core probably gets bothered more by the dry air intrusion/wind shear that should be meeting up with #Milton late Wednesday off the Tampa coast.

So, these cycles are important in the eventual core structure as it nears the coast late WED.

“Again, maximum intensity will be achieved sometime Tuesday for #Milton then category will come down heading into landfall. From a 5-4-3. It will not landfall at Category 5 and there is no evidence to suggest such. But, like we have talked about, a hurricane going in this manner will be expanding its wind field in diameter drastically – so it may be deceiving the dropping category. Sure, top wind speeds come down but the impact to people and property increases at landfall with Milton going to have a much larger wind field at landfall relative to what it is now,” Bergren wrote.

Bergren added in another post Monday night, “Hurricane #Milton this evening reached into the top-5 for strongest hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic, Gulf, Caribbean on record. For now, Wilma in 2005 remains at the top of the list.”

CSU meteorologist Philip Klotzbach shared another radar image and warned,
“#Milton’s pressure has fallen to 897 hPa – the lowest pressure in an Atlantic #hurricane since Wilma in 2005 (882 hPa)..”
