lol that hurricanes are just forming directly over the gulf coast now instead of spinning around in the open ocean a while to give everyone some warning

I remember a few years ago in tampa a tropical storm just formed overnight and blew into town out of absolutely nowhere that kicked rear end

Doesn't that mean they're weaker when they make landfall?

Tropical storms have formed in the Gulf of Mexico relatively regularly for decades. When the Gulf suddenly spins up a proper category grade hurricane from nowhere is when to sit up and take notice since those have required some wind up time in the Atlantic first AFAIK.

Fingers crossed!

Like, they're saying it might be a Cat 1, but maybe that doesn't mean it's bringing a shitload of rain?

Not necessarily when they're developing in 30C bath water.

Well if you want a spin up in July a home grown low like this is the way to do it. The Saharan Air Layer is way too strong now to let any of those cape Verde long trackers get anywhere.

It's nice that our numerical weather prediction is getting really good because scenarios like this would have caught us by surprise not very long ago. These sort of systems are dangerous because of a small window from genesis to impact.

this is sorta reminiscent of hurricane opal from 1995

opal started out as a storm off the yucatan, crossed it into the gulf, hulked out on loving gulf steroids and went from a tropical depression to a category 4 in four days before slamming into the florida panhandle

What happens if a hurricane forms and crashes directly into a flooding Mississippi River? :thunk:

My apartment flooded from the ground up. There are apparently holes in the floor that go to the groundwater, so it was like my apartment sprung a leak. I had to move my car to the middle of the street or it would have been totalled and I wouldn't have been able to leave after this storm passes ahead of the hurricane.

Here is my street on the high ground of the city. I've never seen the water even approach the curb before and the curb was gone.



It's all drained.

:lol: My apartment drained real fast too. Landlord does not seem to accept my hypothesis that this means the cork he put in the holes didn't work and that it drained out the same holes and that this is going to happen again maybe worse in 2 days.
