I think it's the old belief that hurricanes throw heat energy into the NAO domain. I remember that was the belief awhile back. I feel like that is more myth vs truth. Nina's always have more tropical activity and usually aren't conducive for blocking in that area given faster mid latitude flow. Not to say it couldn't happen...but just speaking on climo.
It clearly was not a TS at the time. Every piece of data pointed to it. You also had buoys showing winds at hurricane force too. Based on his track record, he’s nothing more than somebody trying to be different and has done so in a foolish way.
We've had some nasty hybrid storms here. Oct 2017 and Oct 2019. Both storms had significant damage, but last year was more on the coast. Oct 2017 was fairly widespread.
Maybe garbage is hyperbole, because the number of storms is impressive. But I'm having trouble comparing this to 2005, when it comes to quality of storms.
Right? I mean how do people (and lots of them) believe this crap? It just seems like those that do, are uncomfortable with the status quo and want someone to blame and something to believe in.
I agree. As much as it can be good, overall I think it's helped polarize this country. It brings out the worst in people and frankly....I think society sucks right now.
