    Katrina didn’t hit NOLA. It slid East. There is no evidence the city got anywhere near 115-120 sustained. Power failures led to fewer reports than average but the consensus was cat1, maybe cat 2 winds for the city itself.

    Red state sandy

    There is no way that ends up being a quality landfall.

    How many hours of good hurricane have we had this season? My guess is less than 100, with epsilon being 24 of that.
  6. the ghost of leroy
    This year underachieved. That’s what I hate about it. It could have been so much better.

    This is accurate

    Thanks for the reminder that I am due a cool down. Might actually have some days in the 80s finally as flow amplifies and we get troughing in the west.

    Good for Phil. He has been destined for that job for a decade now and it’s nice to know that in some governmental offices merit is still a thing.
  12. the ghost of leroy
    Yeah. I’m sure. A bunch of people who are here to post about “science” but what they really mean is you have to say nice things about the storms.

    Your biggest problem is all these paragraphs. That’s the real reason people want to ignore you. If you are efficiently conspiratorial people won’t care.

    Im sure they are gathering valuable data for the public and scientists

    I don’t know why any of us had the fantasy that this was going to come in as anything but a cat 1, maybe fake cat 2.

    On to the next one.

    Those folks had short memories. Even after Camille, Frederic and Alicia weren't that long ago and made landfall with closed eyewalls. At any rate, Delta likely will not be a good example of a closed eyewall at landfall by any stretch. Unless 2020 deals to us something completely wack. I forget which piece of research it was and it’s probably a decade old, but the conclusion that I read that stuck with me is that upon approach, weak hurricanes tend to strengthen the most and strong hurricanes tend to weaken the most and 85-95 knots is kinda the sweet spot for the NGOM

    Ounces can be had for that but it’s low testing boof that tastes like hay.

    Prepare to bend over. We are a few years in and still have to pay 300+ per ounce and 30+ for grams of wax

    Right over your house. Expect epic flooding

    Walks, talks, and quacks like a 100kt storm
