A National Weather Service meteorologist says Hurricane Maria is another record breaker.  Meteorologist Sarah Marquardt says the hurricane set a  record for how quickly it gained strength from a category 1 storm to a category 5.  “It was category one and it strengthened to category 5 within about 20 hours,”  Marquardt told WFDL news.  “That’s the fastest a storm has ever strengthened that fast.”  Marquardt says at this point it appears the storm will stay in the Atlantic and not hit the United States.
