It’s going to be a hell of allot more impactful then you think. Major beach erosion producer which will likely throw many multimillion dollar beach homes in the ocean. 

Now you’re getting me super horny

I still can’t believe we started a banter thread for a storm that’s going to recurve East of Bermuda

Jorge. What’s up man? Hope all is well. I knew 90L would bring you back to us.

Now a hurricane

Yeah it looks great right now 

OTS, Bermuda not in the eye this time, maybe gets cored tho.
 

2-6 deaths on the east coast from rip tides and some minor coastal erosion. 

Can we just get a system that moves in a straight line at a climatologically average pace? Thanks.

We have the force field going on for most of the peninsula sans Irma  I am curious what Oct brings. GFS long range hints at lowering pressures but it's always there on the 384. 

As usual, there is a stupid amount of heat content in the western Caribbean. FL is due for a repeat of King or a cleaner Wilma.

You think you are invisible, but you are number one in a Google search: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q="the+ghost+of+leroy"

In fact, I found AmericaWX when one of your posts came up. You are a number being counted, and sold, Google knows every word you have spoken, money is moving around because of you. Your 3,400+ posts are like gold nuggets in a mountain stream. Google knows who you are, ad block all you want, you cannot escape, someone selling something has you in their scopes.

Laugh as you will, the world knows who you are and what you say.

But you already knew that anyway...

LOL

 

 

I’m not worried about anonymity. There are people here who even have my phone number.

I'm a web developer, and spend a lot of time doing what too many people think is simple, such as merely keeping a site alive and healthy fighting off hackers and technical issues that never end. A few bucks to the Oz behind the curtain is money well spent for me. I enjoy this more than Netflix or Hulu which costs way more.

ACE is a useful tool but it certainly doesn’t tell the whole story. We’ve had extremely high ACE years with barely any impacts and low ace years that we’re high impact. It also doesn’t do late blooming storms justice, like Laura. Also, you can have 1 or 2 storms produce basically an entire seasons worth of ace and then have a slow rest of the season. 

Accumulated IKE/insured losses=seasonal power index from a US-centric perspective. That would be something I could get with.

Is this worse than swamp people storm?

I don’t know, I am just trying to use the same terminology that cutting edge red taggers use.

ACE isn't the only standard though. People who only consider it to be are foolish. Landfalls are critical data. Cost is important data. Number of storms are critical data. However, ACE shouldn't be done away with as it is an important climatological tool for measuring and comparing basins. Also, it's a great data filter for finding the most active seasons. It's no coincidence that seasons with the highest ACE had numerous powerful TCs beyond just having a high total number of TCs. You also usually find some real long-tracking beasts as well.

 

ACE is cool until you waste a month tracking hurricane/typhoon Ioke and realize you could have literally been doing anything else with your life. 

Add this to the list of why 2020 is amazing...we have never had a V storm with this impressive of a naked swirl

Except when we had three years in a row with a cat 5 at landfall, anything not being a cat 5 at landfall will be a bust.

I’d take a cat 4 so long as the rfq is measurable and it landfalls during daylight

Well we should have some recon flights during peak since it will eventually be a land threat (Bermuda or possibly NE/NS, etc). You're probably meaning on the ground in situ though. I bet you had no love for Lorenzo.

When I was younger I’d get excited for fishes. I’d even track the EPAC for “science”

Now I just don’t care. AGW is making lots of strong storms so I can be pickier and demand excellence.

I agree with that. Hopefully we get our cat 5 

Teddy has a shot at Cat 5. It'll be moving over 29°C SSTs tomorrow within a divergent environment. Definitely going to be a Category 4 and most likely a high end one during its life cycle.

Sorry, I only count it if it happens past about 60W. It’s the whole “tree falls in a forest but nobody hears it” principle.

West Caribbean will be crazy going into October. Florida will be lucky to not see some serious threats with the way this season is going. 

I agree with that. Hopefully we get our cat 5

No, you kids did because you’re bored and desperate to have something legendary to hype.

Well I don’t think anyone can complain about this hurricane season, 2020 has literally had something for everyone. If you’re a numbers person, we’re going on the “w” storm halfway through September. You like high end hurricane landfalls? Laura. You like disorganized spinny thingies with names? You’ll be set for 3 years. East coast metro hit? Isaias produced hurricane force gusts from N.C. to MA. Long track MDR storms? Paulette and Teddy. High end fish storm, watch teddy this week. Hurricane landfalls? Every single hurricane has hit land. Teddy may too. Rapid Intensification? Check. Survivalist storms? We’ve had two hit the tallest peaks in the Caribbean and STRENGTHEN after doing so. You a person who loves strengthening systems on approach? Check check check check check check. Preseason named storm? Yep. Needle in a haystack storm? Paulette making landfall on Bermuda. Slow moving epic rain producer? Sally. Ridiculous storm surge, thank you Laura. I mean, we’ve had everything for everyone!

No we haven’t. A season can’t be epic without a sub 915 storm. It’s a rule. 

Major Hurricane Kappa ftw

Thanks everyone for bantering so well during sally. We’ll be back later this week with teddy and the W storm.
