Hmmm. Both European and GFS have a fairly significant storm coming ashore in the New Orleans/Mississippi Coast area late next week. That almost certainly means I'm safe!

The Carolinas trashed. Florida soon to be trashed. And all of FEMA's money gone to pay for the transplant of new Democrat voters. What will happen in November?
October surprise?

This storm is the third fastest intensifying hurricane in Atlantic history. From a storm to Cat 5 in 24 hours. It is forecast to weaken a little before landfall near Tampa but I am afraid the wall of water it starts pushing won't have time to diminish much. Tampa is in the crosshairs of a once in a lifetime type monster...
Thoughts and prayers and God Bless...

Hurricane Helene damage estimates are as high as 250 billion dollars. This storm is likely to eclipse that as Tampa is a very populated and expensive area. Insurance companies are going to take an absolute beating as they have likely not raised premiums fast enough to keep up with inflation. Living on the Gulf Coast of Texas my premiums have skyrocketed. Oppressively so. Every person on the coast from Brownsville, TX to Maine better get ready to pay more as insurance companies look to limit liability and raise premiums...
Having ridden out a few in my day including Claudette, Alicia, Ike, Harvey and Beryl I feel for what is about to happen to Florida. Earlier this year Hurricane Beryl smashed the Houston/Galveston area with 80-100 MPH winds. I can't imagine a storm packing 180MPH sustained winds and gust well over 200.
God Bless those about to be effected...

The combined costs are going to be astronomical, and I think that it will put another dent in our weak economy. We needed these hurricanes like we needed a hole in the head.

The initial impact is paradoxically economically positive as the insurance money pours in. We had this in NZ with the Christchurch earthquake however this is little different from the surge in GDP that Russia is enjoying as money is thrown at the arms industry.
The hurricane season was slow to start but it has really got going.

The hurricane season was slow to start but it has really got going. Yes I was thinking about that but it's just wealth transferred and generally wasted, no new wealth being generated. A young man with a tracked skid loader, pickup truck and dump trailer could make some extremely good wages for himself next week. |

If I remember correctly, Suspecious Observers had been working on links between solar geomagnetic activity and tropical cyclone activity. I should check back.

Just a quick note on Milton. The storm is now being affected by 30-35k shear, and dry air is infiltrating into its western hemisphere. This is the good news. the bad news is that Milton is only 12-15 hours away from landfall, and the shear and dry air weakening will only knock him back to CAT3. This sounds a lot like Katrina, which turned into a 5 in the GOM and was only a 3 at landfall. The problem is a CAT 5 builds a wall of water that doesn't quickly dissipate as the storm weakens. I've seen predictions of a 15+ surge from Milton. They may turn out to be too low. Pray for the people of Tampa and the surrounding area.
