Otto is also the strongest storm in history to pass over Costa Rica

It initially made landfall in southern Nicaragua but has since passed across parts of Costa Rica. It looks like it was a hurricane for part of the passage in Costa Rica. Based on the path, and the shape of the border, it passed into Costa Rica as a hurricane briefly, came back into Nicaragua and the first advisory position in Costa Rica was after it was downgraded to a tropical storm. The final best track for the storm will have to sort that part out, but given the highest wind speed for a tropical cyclone over Costa Rica was previously 40mph, Otto beats that for sure.
