Hurricane Michael was the third most powerful Atlantic hurricane to make hit in the United States in terms of pressure, behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Hurricane Camille of 1969. Hurricane Michael was also the strongest storm in terms of maximum sustained wind speed to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. In addition, it was the strongest storm on record in the Florida Panhandle, and was the fourth-strongest landfalling hurricane in the contiguous United States, in terms of wind speed.
