ADVERTISEMENTAfter a week of destruction in the Caribbean, it was clear that Hurricane Irma was one for the books. Phil Klotzbach, a meteorologist for Colorado State University, has been tracking the relentless storm over the past week, taking note of all the records it has broken so far. Below are the records Hurricane Irma has already broken as of Sunday morning, as recorded by Klotzbach: Irma is the first storm in recorded history that has maintained top winds of 185 miles per hour for 37 straight hours. Hurricane Irma had 915 millibars, making it the lowest pressure of an Atlantic hurricane outside of the western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in recorded history. Irma generated more Accumulated Cyclone Energy than the first eight named storms of the current Atlantic hurricane season combined.
