1991 I watched the perfect storm from my house right on the seawall, I'd never seen the ocean like that, the waves were crashing over the seawall onto the deck and high tide was still 3 hours away, it was mesmerizing, then the waves started to crash on the house, dark green seawater running down the windows, but then s wave brought a boulder through the sliding glass doors, time to go, but the roads were flooded on both sides, I backed the car up as far away from the house as I could, the next 6 hours we watched the house get swept out to sea, leaving only the foundation. Waves crashing on the telephone pole wires, blue sparks running up and down the line. Marshfield, Mass. 1991.

@andyyang5234 8 месяцев назад

Lee's rapid intensification was a relatively curious case, as it had a very favorable environment for strengthening, but also wind shear on the south prohibiting rapid development. So Lee was actually very mature in structure when it reached C1 strength, and didn't need to do much to intensify once shear subsided.

@henkschrader4513 8 месяцев назад

If the wind shear wasn't there then it would've been a 185 to 195 mph storm wich is xrazy to think about... the official hurricane center prediction was 185mph but there were models that showed 210+ mph

Selective info alert: Yes, 2020 had 31 storms and 14 hurricanes, and this year we're at 15 storms and 6 hurricanes already. But last year only had a total of 14 storms and 8 hurricanes, while 2019 had 18 storms and 6 hurricanes. It's not like storm numbers are consistently high.

@Dragrath1 8 месяцев назад

Yes there are a bunch of factors at play which affect how many and where these storms form. Most notably the impact of wind sheer as well as the weather conditions like cloud cover dust abundance and sea surface temperature in the typical zones of formation. Both years listed had a number of factors at play restricting the formation of tropical cyclones off the coast of Africa but what does stand out here is that these years where storm building activity off the coast of Africa was suppressed we have seen the formation of tropical cyclones well outside the typical zone of formation particularly within or near the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. There is some work looking to extend back our knowledge of storms with historical records going back to the area of colonialism and the imperial conquest of the Americas coupled with analyzing sediment samples to look for storm surge impacts to gauge the strength of cyclones that seems to support the idea that the lack of weaker storms to drain building up heat in the ocean can itself allow storms that do manage to form to have the fuel to become larger and stronger than typical. Basically like everything else its complicated when you did into the details.

@@Savage.-_.Gamer1 The answer is development time. (I'm a meteorology student, so not a professional, but someone with a good chunk of knowledge) In a typical Atlantic Hurricane season, the 'I' storms will typically form in late August through September or 'Peak Season' where seas surface temperatures are at their highest, aiding development. Examples would be Ian (2022) from September 23-30, Irma (2017) August 30th-September 12, and Ike (2008) September 1-14. I hope this helped!

I’m gonna be transparent here, the amount of storms we’ve been receiving has not been abnormal for the last 20 years. Back when we had hurricane katrina we literally went through the entire Greek alphabet and that was in the 2000s. What we have to pay closer attention to is the speed of intensity and not the amount of storms as that has a lot to do with not just how hot the ocean is but different wind patterns impacting the storms stability.

@Dragrath1 8 месяцев назад

Storm rotation direction is controlled by the Coriolis effect which means this scenario is impossible at least in the case of two low pressure systems or even high pressure systems. That said if you were to be able to allow such storms to meet their net angular momentums would largely cancel out. The closest real example to this is the storms of Jupiter which can be defined into more "normal" low pressure cyclones and massive high pressure systems fueled by upwelling heat which on Jupiter can become visible if they become large and deep enough to dredge up deeper layers of the planet most notably seen with the great red spot.

Most likely because a year or so after it happened, I took a trip from my home near orlando, fl to visit relatives in charlotte, nc. As such, the trip was just a run up i-95. But even that year or so later, the devastation was still on full display. As you could see the corridor where the strong winds were by all the trees flattened to the ground in one direction. That said, I swear at one point it had 3 eyes, but I see no record mentioning it. And I see nothing in a quick google search about any hurricane with three eyes. I swear there was one once and it made the news. However, like other memories, I must have confused it with a dream or something.

Do you know whether these metrics have been used for tropical cyclones elsewhere on the globe and if so, do they show similar influence?

@into_the_void 8 месяцев назад

It's not just the heat... it's the humidity 😂

@jackvalior 7 месяцев назад

I would argue against the frequency of storms. Frequency of BIG storms increase, for sure. But because the air is getting warmer, it holds a lot more moisture in the atmosphere. This in effect means that raincloud have a harder time precipitating as they need a lot more moisture before they start falling. So severe storms will come more often, but they are fairly rare before so on a whole, you will see less number of storms overall with a hotter climate but those that do forms will likely be stronger on average. At least that will be the case at first. If we warm the climate enough, that might change entirely.

@TheMelnTeam 7 месяцев назад

Needs to be separated into rainfall based flooding vs storm surge. Usually what is most lethal is the surge, where wind speed, total storm movement, and nature of the seabed below all matter. However, there are some exceptions. One of the really lethal us storms was weak by wind speed standards, but stalled over an area in Texas prone to flooding and dumped a ridiculous volume of rainfall. Either way, such depth of water plus wind speed is way more than most structures can withstand. Only thing worse would be direct f5 tornado hit without a basement shelter. F5 wind speeds are insane, much faster than functional max intensity hurricane winds.

This is a natural cycle that effects the climate and sea surface temperatures in various parts of the tropics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Ni%C3%B1o%E2%80%93Southern_Oscillation#On_hurricanes

So as the sea temperatures increase, the storms become more numerous and erratic. And this could happen tomorrow. No need to worry about asteroids and volcanoes.

@@theironqueen2386 the only thing they got wrong was creating them, everything else those is cool, cause heat only produces heatwaves and forest fires and heat is just an abstract of nature, meaning its just a common thing to happen, but does not revolve anywhere around cyclones.

@@PizzaexpresspumpkinXP I'm sorry to tell you but this is a quote from the Australian institute for marine science www.aims.gov.au Cyclones develop over warm waters in the tropical regions of the oceans where areas of very low pressure are created by air being heated by the sun. This causes the air to rise very rapidly and becomes saturated with moisture that condenses into large thunderclouds. So heat as quite a lot to do with it but just a misconception

7:29 'The lowest sea pressure ever recorded' ? That would be atmospheric pressure at sea level.

@albin4323 7 месяцев назад

Category 1 and 2 hurricanes have seen no change,category 3 a slight increase, 4 and 5 a clear decrease so overall there is no clear increase or decrease for the last 40 years.

Yes, Lee intensified very quickly, but is not the first to do so. Look up Typhoon Rai/Odette from 2021. (160km / 100 miles increased wind speed)

In australia there was a cyclone named Tracey which was close to hitting Darwin but turned around and intensified back to a cat 5 but before cyclone Tracey turned around and went back out to sea it was about cat 3-2 and so on the 21 December 1974 Xmas day cyclone Tracey hit Darwin killing 74 people and injuring others😨 and truing Darwin into nothing the only things still standing in the aftermath was the roads other then that all the houses and trees were destroyed

There was a hurricane in texas one time that made landfall, weaken, and then restrengthened when it was miles in land. I was classified as that years later.

@cc_snipergirl 7 месяцев назад

There are more named storms because they changed the criteria for what allows storms to get a name. Not saying that there haven't been more storms, but that definitely adds nuance and makes it more difficult to compare. You can't just make a blanket statement like that
