And don't forget the fact that there's been a bunch of fires, and flooding and mudslides are more likely in burn areas.

It's kind of bonkers to see three named storms in the Atlantic who are all just harmlessly bouncing off the high pressure around the US and going straight back out to sea

Looks like Desantis's plan to save Florida is working!

It doesn't have to be taller, it just need to be built from the sky down, not from the ground up.

The sky's where the hurricanes are, that's where the wall needs to be!

one of these days the stars will align and a major hurricane is going to thread the needle right up the Chesapeake and destroy DC, Baltimore, and most of the rest of the delmarva coast

We have enough trouble with the occasional cat 1/trop storm that has to go over VA or the eastern shore first.

Any chance the two storms possibly headed towards Florida meet up and merge over Florida into one giant gently caress it all storm?

edit:Nevermind, I thought Franklin was headed towards Florida still.

They’re now forecasting Idalia as a major hurricane.

Likely a category 3 before it makes landfall in Florida early Wednesday morning.

hard to believe it's not only going to become a hurricane but then also go up 3 intensity levels in less than 2 days while moving that fast

pretty much needs to start rapid intensification now (35mph+ wind increase per 24 hours) to become a major by wednesday morning

not impossible though, some of the gulf storms this past decade have blown up insanely fast

It's pretty normal for hurricanes to do that as long as there's warm water.

Hurricanes are a big self powering engine where the stronger the winds, and the more coherent the eye, the faster it blows water up into the atmosphere and gets bigger.

The only thing that stops them is that they blow off the warm top layer of water, then there's cold water underneath and they suffocate, lose their shape, and can't rebuild.

Thanks to global warming, one of the biggest changes in the oceans is how deep the warm water is. So how even slow moving hurricanes can keep fueling themselves.

Hurricane Michael in 2018 was thought to be a cat 1-2 storm 3 days before landfall then had a big glow up all the way to cat 5 when it hit.

The gulf in particular seems to be perfect conditions for hurricanes to shoot up. You'll see storms cross Florida and weaken, then hit the gulf and go big again; Katrina was a baby storm when it crossed South Florida, for example.
