Rapid intensifications like the one that turned Otis into category 5 nightmare are made more likely by fossil-fuel driven global warming:
"Emanuel found that the odds of a hurricane intensifying by 70 mph or more in the 24 hours just before landfall were about once every 100 years in the climate of the late 20th century. But in the climate of the year 2100, these odds increased to once every five to 10 years."
