According to a study i found, 386 deaths were directly attributed to Katrina’s storm surge, in Louisiana specifically. So it would probably be around 400-500 if you include other states… With Maria 1/10th was attributed directly to the hurricane so around 300. I believe that still makes them the worst modern US hurricanes though even without indirect deaths. edit: Agnes is the only other US storm i found with over 100 direct deaths since 1970

Yeah we’re starting to get into names no one ever new existed territory with I storms
-
This one could probably cause some issues for swimmers on the east coast. Hopefully people heed the rip current warnings
-
All radar apps use NWS doppler radar
-
New advisory has storm down to Cat 1: 95 mph, 960 mb, headed nnw at 9 mph. I don't think I've ever seen a storm initialized with that intensity before, unless it was a glitch....
-
He's probably going by by normalized damage, which puts Katrina, Andrew, and Maria at 1, 2 , 3
-
Wow, might be the first time we've ever seen grounds obs record the maximum sustained winds
-
Hopefully he makes it out alright, I’m presuming elevation probably isn’t more than 10-20 ft about sea level where he’s at
-
Yeah I shut it off after he said that, his car would be in the air with winds that strong, maybe take 100 mph off
-
Holy shit wasn’t this thing a 85 kt cat 2 when I went to sleep 8 hours ago…
-
Only 6.81” of rain on the month for me but 4.86” in the last week. Today will probably add another inch to the monthly total
-
2004 only had one 90?
-
91, 92, 91, 93 back home during that heatwave. Yesterday was the hottest day so far this year, beating a few 92’s going back to May. Looks like a midnight high of 78 today

Hurricane Ida Forecasting Contest
Intensewind002 replied to WxWatcher007's topic in Tropical Headquarters
Max: 140 Max at landfall: 125 Pressure at landfall: 938 mb Landfall: Morgan City -
Ida just seems like a name that was going to get retired one day tbh. Like some names just have that tone to them that somehow fits a major hurricane
-
Yeah first call is always conservative, especially when storms threaten the US coast, probably to not cause any immediate panic and just in case models are overestimating the strengthening. That’s definitely one of the highest initial forecasts by the NHC I’ve seen for an Atlantic storm though. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Cat 3 or even 4 predicted by tomorrow.
-
Hit 90 and 92 back at home the past two days, looks like a fun little heat wave im missing out on. Not even that humid either, dewpoints were only in the 60s
-
Picked up another .73” of rain at home from these bands moving through so storm total is now at 3.74”
-
Im surprised Lee was never retired, if i remember correctly it’s one of the costliest storms not to have that done

-

I thought we were going to lose it for sure, but I think the non power outage streak my house/street has is going to continue. Haven't lost power since Sandy and now we're pushing on ten years straight
-
Not even an inch of rain yet back home, highest gust at frg was only 18 mph lol.
-
I’m surprised there’s still a hurricane warning up for western suffolk, there is no way we see even tropical storm force sustained winds at this point, nevermind hurricane force
