On October 17, Megi became the first tropical cyclone to have a pressure below 900 millibars since Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Later that day, it became the first tropical cyclone since Hurricane Allen in 1980 to have one-minute sustained winds of 190 mph. Early on October 18, the JMA reported that 10-minute sustained winds had increased to 230 km/h (145 mph), making Megi one of three storms to attain this intensity, after Super Typhoon Bess (1982) and Super Typhoon Tip (1979). When it made landfall on October 18, it became one of the strongest tropical cyclones recorded to make landfall. Megi was the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in four years. - Wikipedia
