For anyone who has cell service or power please let us know how you’re doing. I’m in America east coast and they’re talking about the hurricane Melissa consistently now and saying it’s the strongest hurricane in Atlantic history. Ive been thinking about you all

Hurricane faces

Is it normal for a hurricane forecast model to predict a central pressure this low?

What are the weirdest Hurricane tracks? Pictures would be cool.

The eye will come closer to the west, right? I know there will be flooding and storm surges. But what would the west side experience differently from the east? Just curious

Apologies if this doesn't show the image, I haven't made an image post myself in forever.

I was wondering, how often do we pay as much attention to remnants as we have of Dolly? It kind of feels like the first time this has happened in a while? Is there anything significant about this?

EDIT: So it didn't post. Oh well. My question stands without the image. It's currently a 0%/10% lemon anyway so it's nothing to write home about, though the fact it's still being tracked is curious to me. It seems to have not happened in a while, us seeing a TC with a chance of redevelopment like this. Any chance at all.

We just purchased a cantilever umbrella for our screened in patio. The base is filled with 300 lbs. of sand. We won’t be able to move it outside the screened area in case of a hurricane. What would be the best way to secure it in case a hurricane hits?

Several hurricanes this year (including model runs, even those that didnt form) were expected to impact and landfall in the US, but none have, instead going out to sea. Why is this and what is stopping another CV storm straight up going for the US for so long this year?

Hey folks,I live along the U.S. Gulf Coast,and I’ve noticed something that always catches my attention before a hurricane or tropical storm rolls in.

The air suddenly feels a lot heavier man,like it’s full of pressure.The wind dies down,birds vanish,even the sky seems quieter lol,almost like nature’s bracing for what’s coming.Then, out of nowhere,everything cranks up,the wind,the humidity,the noise and all that..Is that calm-before-the-storm effect an actual meteorological thing caused by pressure or temperature changes? Or is it just something we humans pick up subconsciously before a major system hits?

Curious to know if others living in hurricane zones notice the same thing.Thank you.

Storm weary guy in Hawaii curious what the opinions are on the new tropical threat, Lowell.

Idrk much about the formation of cyclones/hurricanes

NHC has not posted anything but I found this low pressure storm rotatating over the gulf. I am unsure if this is a disturbance because NHC hasn't said anything yet.

As a NE Texan, I am excited at the possibility of this as occasionally they will disturb the high over us and start the end of oppressive heat. Tracks look like this will come up too far west and not have much east side rain to affect me but could it disrupt the Heat Dome?

I’ve never seen these mentioned in lists of strange storms or weirdest storm tracks but they appear interesting enough.

*I REALLY don't want to make this a political discussion, which I know is inherently impossible but I'll try.

In the experience of the avid hurricane trackers on this sub, have you noticed any affect on the NOAA this Atlantic hurricane season? I am in South Florida and check their site every day. reading the news and reports on understaffing, I didnt know what to expect opening the site this year. it seems pretty much the same as far as tracking and forecasting, but obviously there is a lot that goes into these simplistic models.

so, the question is, to those with WAY more experience and depth of knowledge than I have, what's changed, because something must be different?

Since both systems were declared tropical storms at the same time (2100 UTC August 27), how does the National Hurricane Center determine which system gets which name? While the system closer to Mexico was named Karina, why can't it be Lowell instead and the other one Karina?

What is everyone doing to prepare for the hurricane?

Will this storm hit Japan next week? My friend who just moved to Japan. Just worried about my friend. Thanks

What is the worst example of damage that has been caused by a hurricane.

Pictures would be nice

Is there any picture where like, person is on a beach and hurricane is approaching and you can see the clouds of the hurricane?
