#Laura's maximum sustained winds have increased from 75 mph to 125 mph in the past 24 hr. That's the largest 24-hr rate of intensification (50 mph in 24 hr) for a tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico since Karl in 2010 (65 mph in 24 hr). #hurricane #HurricaneLaura pic.twitter.com/LZVJlp7YuZ— Philip Klotzbach (@philklotzbach) August 26, 2020
