User blog comment:Glflegolas/Human Extinction -- are we approaching the Doomsday?/@comment-4750818-20161012141644

If any of you have been following the story of Hurricane Matthew, it started as a tropical storm near the Lesser Antilles, and intensified extremely quickly to a Category 5 hurricane, and remained a major hurricane for 11 days without interruption. With climate change, this kind of scenario will become more and more common.

I also got hit hard by the leftovers of that storm, with 50kt winds and over 130 mm of rain. Thanks to global warming, I am almost certain that I will live to see a 100kt hurricane make landfall within my lifetime.
