I guess to give a good idea of how warm its been my parents closed their pool at this time last year and today my mom was swimming in it. And the way it looks it'll be that way for at least another 2 weeks
Anyone have any idea what's going on with that potential homebrew tropical system a week from now? I know the gfs has been showing it riding up the coast and potentially having it rain here but I'm wondering how likely that'll be
Yeah definitely. I know Teddy was a threat last year in the area but it transitioned way before impact so it was more of a nonevent. Pretty sure Larry caused a lot more damage. It was blazing at 47mph so it didn't last very long so that probably limited some damage lol
Annular atlantic hurricanes are a rarity compared to the other basins. I think there's only a 1% of all storms ever becoming annular there while in the pacific its closer to 3%
Interesting too that this is becoming annular around the same time and the same part of the basin as Isabel did in 2003. That's probably because the waters there aren't super warm since annular canes need 25c-28c water to form
Was reading an accuweather article and 45 people died yesterday with more they still have to search for. Crazy
That water must have been coming in so fast with so much force that it overwhelmed them and they got trapped in their basements and died.
I was complaining how I haven't been able to open the windows much the past month...well now it makes sense. I knew it was hot every night but didn't know it was the 2nd warmest. Thankfully its supposed to be really cool tonight
Apparently the huge tornado in Jersey might have been an EF4. I was reading that it might be the most powerful tornado to ever spawn from a tropical cyclone ever. Also would be NJ's most powerful tornado ever
Some of the houses are chopped in half and missing
Lee was a much longer duration event. We'll probably smash 1 day rainfall records compared to Lee in some areas which is definitely impressive in its own way
Yeah I was kinda doubting it too because it seems like that happened way too quickly for where it's at and a lot of people do post around stuff that happened in previous years just to get more followers/likes etc. It happens a lot when big hurricanes make landfall too
That's crazy. I was talking to my dad how I was surprised some schools didn't get canceled that are in flood prone areas. Stuff like that ends up happening
The biggest bulk of our rain is gonna come later this afternoon/evening where we have a period of a few hours dropping 1-2 inch per hour rates. But it also matters where exactly the heaviest rain sets up so we'll have to see where that happens
