Irma's 185 m.p.h winds are the strongest winds to exist in the Atlantic, excluding the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean. The Gulf and Caribbean have warmer and shallower water, allowing for strength. It is in these areas that Wilma, Gilbert, and Allen all reached their peak wind speeds. Irma is reaching these wind speeds in the deeper (and typically cooler) waters of the Atlantic, making it the strongest in the Atlantic waters. A little detailed, perhaps, but still notable.

Another new record set by Irma is the longevity of it's 185 m.p.h. maximum sustained winds. As of 1:00 a.m. EST Irma's winds maintained 185 m.p.h for 35 hours straight. This is the longest any cyclone has kept that intensity since Typhoon Haiyan for 24 hours in 2013
