Hurricane Ike 15 Years Later
Texas Hurricane
by texashurricane
7M ago
An original post from 2018 that is reposted and changed. It is hard to believe it has been 15 years since Hurricane Ike made landfall on Southeast Texas as a monsterous Category 2 hurricane in the early morning hours of September 13, 2008. Between the fifteen years a lot has happened since Ike. Before Ike came crashing in, Cyclone Nargis ravaged Burma (Myanmar) and claimed over 138,000 lives. Not too long after, there is the Sichuan Earthquake that claims nearly 88,000 lives. Ike made landfall seven years after the devastating 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, which destroyed the World Trade ..read more

Intensifying Idalia

Hurricane Idalia over the Gulf of Mexico. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/floater.php?stormid=AL102023#tab2 Hurricane Franklin is the first major hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic Season. It is a Category 3 hurricane with 115 mph winds as of 11:00 PM AST per National Hurricane Center (NHC). It peaked as a Category 4 hurricane. However, it is over the open Atlantic and poses little threat at this time. Right now, my main concern is Hurricane Idalia. It is a Category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds as of 11:00 PM EDT. However, looking at satellite images, there is a tiny eye and circular shape ..read more

Tropical Depression 9 Or Future Harold?

Tropical Depression 9 over Gulf of Mexico. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector.php?sat=G16&sector=gm The Atlantic has heated up after it was dormant. Emily, Franklin, and Gert have formed. Only Franklin remains, but is out in the Caribbean. This brings us to Tropical Depression 9 or future Harold. Interestingly, Harold replaces Harvey, which ravaged Texas with heavy rain and flooding in 2017. I do not think this will be a repeat of Harvey by any stretch. Tropical Depression 9 is a tropical depression as of 10:00 PM CDT per National Hurricane Center. It has been hot and dry in Texa ..read more

Hurricane Hilary at 19.1°N – 112.4°W https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/floater.php?stormid=EP092023#homePageLink Hurricane Hillary is a monster hurricane as a Category 4 hurricane with 130 mph winds as of 10:00 PM CST. It is quite large for a East Pacific Hurricane as it it has tropical storm force winds extending up to 255 miles! Most East Pacific hurricanes are small as the basin is smaller than Atlantic or West Pacific. The East Pacific produces many hurricanes due to warm water, less dry air, and North American Monsoon. Monsoon spin up thunderstorm clouds. In fact, it is the second mos ..read more

Texas Hurricane

An original post from 2013 that is reposted and changed. It has been 40 years ago at this very moment that Hurricane Alicia ravaged Southeast Texas, centered in the Houston metropolitan area. Hurricane Alicia came during the Cold War between America and Soviet Union. The Cold War ended in 1991 and underwent change. The world changed with 9/11 and COVID Pandemic. The winter of 1982-1983 was an extremely strong El Nino. It was the strongest prior to winter of 1997-1998. It is one reason why 1983 Hurricane Season was inactive because the Pacific was coming off of a strong El Nino. There was a t ..read more

The Aftermath Of Hurricane Ian

Wilfredo Lee – AP Photo The magnitude of destruction from Hurricane Ian has come to light. The monster storm surge and strong winds ravaged Southwest Florida. It is nothing short of utter devastation for Southwest Florida. Fort Myers is utterly flattened. It looks like a war zone. Houses and buildings are flattened everywhere. The damage total is likely to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Joe Raedle – Getty Images The death toll is something I do not want to think about at this time. At least 10 people are known to have died. Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno thinks the death toll c ..read more
