This is a great way to collect data.

🌀 "Atlantic hurricane season 2024: Season already 4 times worse than normal. Now comes the peak" 🌀 It's 20 years since one of the deadliest and most costly Atlantic hurricane seasons on record with over 3,200 deaths and more than $61 billion in damage. More than half of the 16 tropical cyclones brushed or struck the United States. By using Atlas, I've created a timeline of all the 15 storms that was named during the 2004 hurricane season.

🌀🌀🌀 As hurricanes are becoming more intense, they may need a new category - Category 6. 🌊 #Hurricane categories run from 1 to 5, with Category 5 hurricanes having wind speeds of 156 mph or stronger — enough to produce "catastrophic" damage, which NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration says can result in "complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings," as well as extended power outages. "We found that five storms had exceeded this hypothetical Category 6, and that all of them were recent, since 2013," Wehner told CBS News.  The most intense of those five storms was Hurricane Patricia, which peaked with wind speeds well over 200 mph before making landfall in Mexico as a Category 4 in October 2015. Patricia "intensified at a rate rarely observed in a tropical cyclone," according to the National Hurricane Center. NOAA reported that the storm hit maximum winds of 215 mph, nearly 60 mph faster than the lower bar of the Category 5 designation. #weather #noaa #climate #weatherforecast #science #climatechange #meteorology #meteorologist #news #datacenter #disasterrecovery Daniel Hungerford, Ben Green, Matthew Browning, Ryan Pelosi, CoreSite

NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration has unveiled its forecast for the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, anticipating an above-normal level of activity, surpassing the 2023 season which ranks 4th for most-named storms in a year. Several factors, including high Atlantic and eastern sea temperatures, and the likely shift of El Nino to La Nina conditions are counted among contributing factors. NOAA also noted that climate change is increasing the damage potential of hurricanes. In particularly the rising sea temperatures and consequential rising sea levels can increase the risk of storm surge. “Already, we are seeing storms move across the country that can bring additional hazards like tornadoes, flooding and hail” said FEMA Deputy Administrator Erik A. Hooks. Follow us to stay informed on the season’s progress with regular updates from our (RE)ACT watch roundups.

Insightful and very destructive indeed. This is a classic example of why the national weather service in any country is crucial for the safety of lives and property. Without the national weather service, you wouldn't receive satellite imagery of severe weather events like this to provide early warnings for the benefit of the citizens and government.#WeatherService #PublicSafety #EarlyWarning #DisasterPreparedness #SatelliteImagery #SevereWeather #NationalSecurity

⚠ History is being made‼ Hurricane #Beryl is the earliest CAT. 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic. The hurricane is currently in the Caribbean Sea and will approach the coast of #Jamaica in the coming days. The hurricane poses an extreme danger to anyone, anything in its path.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) updated its 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook earlier this month. While the August update is nearly identical to its earlier forecast in May, the probability of above-normal activity this season has increased from 85% to 90%, and each of the activity ranges shown in the graphic below is forecast at a 70% probability.

Still a fair amount of uncertainty on where Hurricane Beryl will make landfall. Unfortunately, this really underscores the need for Tropical Weather Analytics, Inc.'s Hurricane Hunter Satellites. Our unique 3D measuring technique and ability to model hurricanes as a Carnot Engine will allow us to forecast track and intensity 2X more accurately. Sure would come in handy right now. https://lnkd.in/ewQv33uv

The NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration has issued its highest ever hurricane forecast, predicting a likely range of 17-25 named storms, of which 8-13 could become hurricanes, including 4-7 major hurricanes. https://hubs.ly/Q02ynpmB0 InterMoor is committed to ensuring our staff's safety during #hurricane season.
