I’m taking this down because it’s a basically a weather question.
Dude relax OP is English everything is a weather question he can’t help it
What were the other 3
Hard to find list that differentiates between “strongest hurricane” and “hurricane that caused the most damage,” but I think this article has it.
Thank you. Good article.
It’s kind of impossible to objectively rank strongest hurricanes. Meteorologists probably use atmospheric pressure but when communicating with the public, the focus is always on wind speed. Storm surge matters way more in some places than others. Diameter can make a Cat 2 cause more damage than a small Cat 4 that hits a less populated area. There’s so many different variables.
A lot of Helene’s danger was that it was so fast-moving that it made it inland to places that aren’t prepared. Hurricane Harvey flooded Houston so much because it was so slow moving. Pick your poison when it comes to movement speed, I guess? 🤷
Wikipedia uses atmospheric pressure and wind speed, FWIW: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atlantic_hurricane_records
Why the hell you asking us? He’s the meteorologist.
What I’m hearing is that this will be the new normal and if we can get through Milton, then we’re good.
Is it sad I took some solace in noting that storms can’t get much stronger than this due to physics. That’s not to downplay this storm, it’s no joke, but trying to find a silver lining.
The eye has since expanded and the winds have spread out more, I believe.
Hmmm
I fucking knew it! The world’s fate was always in the hands of traumatized horny teenagers!
horny teenagers
are there some other kind of teenager?
Those who are also traumatized?
Or you know, a seedy cabal of powerful people who are only advancing their own goals.
That being said, Seele is way cooler the OPEC.
I’m glad the storm spread out a little before making ground fall. I don’t have the requisite knowledge to know whether he’s making a credible claim about the mathematical limits of storm intensity, but if it is accurate, the fact that we can go from “tropical depression” to “literally the strongest storm the planet can sustain” in 24 hours is fucking wild.
Would be crazy if eventually a storm like this could ignite the air inside of it, I wonder if that could happen if it pulled in the extra methane in the atmosphere
Isn’t it like made of water?
Water is famously flammable when broken down to it’s constituent parts.
“water is famously flammable when it’s not water”
It’s divorced water.
Maybe if you nuke it.
…or if it became powerful enough to start pulling sharks out of the water and carrying them inland…
If it is it’s not current, as the storm has dropped to a category 3 as it neared land. We were up to 171mph a few days ago as it was building though, so it may just be a forecast from around then.

I’m seeing 5th and 6th according to wikipedia. But its really close and meteorologist probably knows more important context.
Don’t worry I’m ready
I can’n tell if this is genius or retarded
Those are tiles right?
What are the odd, i just saw the exact same house on youtube recommendation.
I just saw that house on the news On YouTube
Yes, but that information is out of date. Milton has weakened from that level.
