Makes sense. Always have been curious about this. I think it would be an interesting study for sure. You would thing a long sustained cat 3-4 traversing the gulf prior to landfall would produce much more damage especially storm surge compared to a storm strengthening to a cat 3-4 or 5 right at landfall.
Maybe someone can Collaborate…we all know this was never Katrina…..but to my knowledge Katrina was extremely strong long before landfall. Is there a difference between a hurricane with long sustained strength compared to a hurricane strengthening prior to landfall? I’ve always been under the impression that a hurricane strengthening prior to landfall sometimes doesn’t always translate to ground conditions compared to a storm with long sustained strength.
Ryan reeves put out a response to the Tom Wilson and rangers Incident this past season and how he would have responded to it…..long story short reeves it’s such a mediocre player compared to Tom Wilson it’s not even funny. I can’t stand the fact he thinks his play on the ice is even decent….
The same areas hit hard the other night are in-line again. I’m only frustrated because where I’m located we could use every bit of it. Grass is still crunchy! I miss mowing lol
I mean I would agree. We have better coverage with decent storms in a marginal outlook versus slight/enhanced. But has I said mid morning, sunny sky’s turned into overcast. Kiss of death. It’s not anything unexpected around here lol.
Cloud cover ruined today for widespread storms. But that was known late morning. Seems as though it’s always something in this area that could ruin a wet dream.
I live in culpeper and it in fact it ended with 8-10 inches. Countless roads gone and one bridge collapse. Numerous swift water rescues due to ignorant people. The water rise was so quick it was mind blowing.
I see nothing good happening in the first round for the caps. Anything less then 100% against what will likely be Boston, I see an early first round exit.
What’s crazy is vdot actually spent ALOT of money this winter on snow removal. The last “storm” many local vdot yards had a salt shortage. Will be interesting to see the final numbers.
