    Hurricane Gilbert occurred in September of 1988 and made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane in Jamaica. It later peaked as a Category 5 . "Hurricane Gilbert was the first category five hurricane to strike land in the Atlantic Basin since Hurricane Camille in 1969, and the strongest hurricane to strike Mexico in modern history," the National Weather Service reports.
