b_m_b_m_b_m Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It's just insane how intense this season is. We still have half the month of September, too! I think we're easily getting into the greek alphabet this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is out at her house and her phone was on the verge of dying when my wife talked to her this morning.

So, assuming that the depression in the Gulf becomes a tropical storm, we would need 4 more to tie the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Interesting note about this year compared to 2005: In 2005, we had 28 tropical storms (one went unnamed, as it was determined to be one after the season was over). Of those, we had 15 hurricanes, 7 major hurricanes, and 4 Category 5 hurricanes. This year, we've had 22 storms (so far). However, we've only had 8 hurricanes, and only 2 major hurricanes.

Guest Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Not liking that Beta track on NHC. Looks like it could turn into a slow moving tropical storm and just drench the Houston area 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 It started raining on Sunday and has not stopped, that I know of, since. It’s currently falling at around 2.5” an hour at my house. About 15” of total rainfall in the last 24 hours here. Some Harvey PTSD is definitely kicking in around town. We are due for heavy rain all day today and into tomorrow afternoon-evening.

SaysWho? Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Things are slowing down in the Atlantic. Paulette did return, but weakly and it looks to meander in the Atlantic and then dissipate. There's always a chance the storms around the Florida Keys can develop a low and turn into something, but right now, not seeing much. It's still the one I'd watch the closest considering its proximity to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 With the warm water ahead and little wind shear, it could become a major hurricane. There are two pieces of good news, though: Wind shear is expected to pick up in a few days, and waters are 5 - 10 degrees cooler by the coast of Louisiana/Mississippi. So even if it becomes a major hurricane, it shouldn't rapidly intensify as it nears as Laura/Michael did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Looks like Delta is going to make landfall less than 30 miles from where Laura did last month. A friend of mine who does disaster response work and lives in Lake Charles said this to me when I checked on him: “In a strange way, it’s for the best. Not much to destroy so soon after Laura leveled the area.“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
