Hurricane Franklin vs. 1938 Hurricane - is the Atlantic Ocean "warming?"

[skookerasbil]

Hurricane strikes on the US mainland waaaaaaay down over the past 20 years

So why are the 1940s the strongest decade on record for canes given all your BS claim of ocean "Warming?"

Hey man...we have a handful of regular's in here that just automatically tend to the hysterical. Every time they hear of a thunderstorm line, their heads explode! Forest fire...more head explosions.

Thankfully, it's only a handful of nutters...the same few for about 10 years in here. We routinely clean their clocks...it's a hoot.

The claim is "warmest ever ocean water" around FLA....

So far, two Cat 4s, and now Lee, which could not hold Cat 5 for a full 24 hours... and has pressure over 940

NOT ANYTHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT.... NO....

Understanding Hurricane Pressure

Why do hurricane forecasters so closely watch the barometric pressure in hurricanes? Learn about lower pressures, storm intensity and more here at RHINO!

www.rhinobldg.com

• In 2005, Hurricane WILMA reached the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in an Atlantic Basin hurricane: 882 millibars.
• In 1988, Hurricane GILBERT reached one of the lowest hurricane pressures at 888 millibars.
• In 1935, scientists recorded a low-pressure reading of 892 millibars in the LABOR DAY Hurricane.
• Hurricane ALLEN clobbered Texas in 1980, after plummeting to 899 millibars.
• In 2005, Hurricane RITA, which inflicted major damage in Texas, sank to 895 millibars at its lowest point.
• Also in 2005, Hurricane KATRINA wreaked havoc on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, reaching a barometric hurricane pressure chart reading of 902 millibars. When KATRINA made her second landfall, she still registered as low as 920 millibars.
• Hurricane CAMILLE also reached one of the lowest hurricane pressures of 900 millibars in 1969.
• In 1992, Hurricane ANDREW decimated Florida, making landfall as a Category 5 storm. The lowest pressure reading of the monster storm fell to 922 millibars.
• South Texas is still in the cleanup stages after Hurricane HARVEY smashed into the Lone Star state at 938 millibars of pressure.
• Another shock on the hurricane pressure scale was Hurricane IRMA’s barometric reading of 914 millibars, with sustained winds of 185 MPH, with gusts up to 225 MPH.
• In 2012, Hurricane SANDY, dubbed a “superstorm” because of its massive size, recorded a minimum barometric pressure of 940 millibars.

OH NO!!!

Lee (or is it Lee Majors in the beginning of $6 million dollar man?) crashes to CAT 3...

Hurricane Lee barrels through open Atlantic waters as Category 3 storm

Hurricane Lee is expected to continue rapidly strengthening as it approaches the southeastern US.

"maximum sustained winds of 115 mph"


Oh that WARMEST EVER OCEAN WATER.....pfffffff....


LOL!!!

 

[EMH]

Lee's pressure now 963, consistent with cat 2....

 

[EMH]

And this Sunday morning, it is a CAT 2....

105 MPH winds...

The strongest hurricanes to hit the United States were not recent. Indeed: the strongest (whether by barometric pressure or wind speed) were decades ago. The strongest (by both measures: 185mph winds) was the 1935 Labor Day storm. Runners up were Camille (175) in 1969 and Andrew (165) in 1992. (Surprisingly, the "Long Island Express" doesn't make it, likely due to the impossibility of verifying the wind speed and barometric pressure before landfall in 1938.)

By barometric pressure, it was 1935, Camille, and the only recent one, Michael in 2018. After that, it gets a bit odd...while a category 3, Katrina had the next lowest BP, then Andrew.

Katrina was a Cat 5, hit as Cat 3.

In 2005 we had weeks of Cat 5 storms spinning.

So far during "warmest ever ocean water" we have about 15 hours of one...
