Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda are just the third pair of named tropical cyclones to be colocated between Bermuda and the US east coast since 1900. Previous pairs: Hurricane Gaston & Tropical Storm Hermine in 2004; Tropical Storms Isidore and Hortense in 1984.

Preliminary analysis:
Humberto intensified from a Tropical Storm to a Category 5 in 42 hours, which puts it in a 5-way tie for 9th fastest TS → C5 intensification in the Atlantic. Erin did the same feat in about 30 hours last month, which is a 3-way tie for 2nd fastest.

As we approach the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, there will continue to be many recaps and takes on the storm. I want to share this video I put together in 2020 highlighting a different angle than I've ever come across elsewhere: drive.google.com/file/d/1QBOl...

As of today's 11AM update, Erin now ranks comfortably in the Top-10 Largest Atlantic Tropical Cyclones. Its tropical storm force wind field is the 8th largest on record. Its hurricane force wind field is on par with Lorenzo as the largest on record since data began in 2004.

Even more wild is that Erin is currently forecast to have one of the largest hurricane-force wind fields. The latest forecast surpasses Hurricane Sandy and essentially ties it with Hurricane Teddy from 2020 as the 3rd largest hurricane-force wind field on record in the Atlantic.

Hurricane Erin is currently the 27th largest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record. She is forecast to become the 10th largest on record before becoming post-tropical this weekend. Size data goes back to 2004.

Hurricane Erin’s wind field at peak intensity on Saturday compared to the other category 4 & 5 Atlantic hurricanes this decade. Although its winds have weakened, its wind field will continue to grow in size.

Discrepancy: Republicans lied about losing despite Republicans in fact losing - and then launched a deadly attack on the US Capitol ✅ Glad to see #Oklahoma investing in the truth!

🚩 Almost first-time home owner here finding out that mortgages are a scam… Why is the interest not just a direct percentage of a set principal payment? Instead they’re designed to almost ensure you pay more than the initial loan amount in interest alone!

The front was associated with a modest low pressure. Behind it a very strong arctic high surged across interior North America. Ahead of the front, a massive subtropical high encased the entire North Atlantic basin including the eastern seaboard.

Eight years ago I was a relatively new Registered Nurse working 12-hour night shifts on a hospital medical/surgical unit considering going to grad school for weather/emergency management. Today, I am a meteorologist with a M.S. in Emergency Management.
