Hurricane Bud (2018)
Hurricane Bud was a Category 4 hurricane that brought winds and severe flooding to Mexico throughout its existence as a tropical cyclone in June 2018.

Bud ultimately peaked the next morning with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (220 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 943 mbar (hPa; 27.85 inHg). Its track curved m ...
