  1. I’d go 95 kts. Need a stronger dropsonde since surface is barely 100 and that’s not even measuring sustained winds.
  2. 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.
  3. There is no way that ends up being a quality landfall.
  4. How many hours of good hurricane have we had this season? My guess is less than 100, with epsilon being 24 of that.
  5. This year underachieved. That’s what I hate about it. It could have been so much better.
  6. Cool looking storm. I like it when they’re cute but have a broad envelope as well.
  7. Lol. If this is what 2020 is like imagine a couple decades from now. Looking forward to Major Hurricane Upsilon’s landfall in the NeoAzores autonomous zone on Trumptember 12th, 2039.
  8. there was an unnamed storm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Azores_subtropical_storm
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. a porta potty slowly blowing around is the perfect metaphor for delta
  14. Im sure they are gathering valuable data for the public and scientists
  15. 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.
  16. If “they” were trying again they wouldn’t tell “us”. Too many national security and bad press implications. I am not sure we should give up on geoengineering and messing with hurricanes just because a mid 20th century program was a failure.
