Ja. 183 kph ! Was the highest for #Eowyn as far as I can tell from the Meteologix website.

Cat 4 hurricane #Helene had even 220 kph at landfall in Florida... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrican

10 days later, #Milton had 195 kph at landfall in Florida and was a cat3 then.

But the rains were the most destructive for them. And Eowyn doesn't seem to have dumped so much water over Ireland and UK. The station colouring for 12 hour precipitation is a mix of yellow and orange, so below 50mm.

Besonders betroffen war #Nordamerika, vor allem durch Hurricanes "#Helene" und "#Milton".

Auch #Europa verzeichnete starke #Überschwemmungen, blieb jedoch vergleichsweise glimpflich. Laut #MunichRe verstärken der #Klimawandel und steigende #Wassertemperaturen extreme #Wetterereignisse.

“Great benefactors of mankind, deliverers,
Whose deeds some nobler poem shall adorn.”

John Milton’s Paradise Regained (1671), Book III, line 82.

'In this passage, Milton reflects on the nature of true greatness and the role of those who genuinely benefit humanity, contrasting them with false heroes or superficial achievers.'
