You couldn't have been posting on this board in 2005, otherwise you wouldn't make the assertion that people here only care about storms that strike a coastline. We posted ad nauseum and with tremendous fascination that season in particular about the several abnormally late-season storms--one of which lasted in January 2006, and none of which struck land.
To me, this more recent phenomenon we've seen of storms forming or even flourishing at latitudes farther north than ever before is a more troubling and fascinating trend than storms that rapidly intensify from cat 3 to cat 4 in the deep tropics. I dare suggest we have more to learn about intensity forecasting from tropical systems that spawn and flourish in late December/Early January over cold waters than we do from the far more mundane occurrence of storms rapidly intensifying in the deep tropics. And that is why this board featured such lengthy discussion of those storms in 2005. |
