Comparison of Hurricanes #Michael and Opal (which became a Cat 4 in early October 1995) at around the same point in their life cycle. Opal, transitioning to a cat 2 here, accelerated & made landfall about 30 hours from this point (Michael forecast to go ~40 hours). H/t @pppapin pic.twitter.com/LJiWkGpKOH
