I was going to mention that again, but then decided not to. But......
Humberto 2013:

Best track still has not changed. Eleven years ago...
Gustav 2002:
AL, 08, 2002091106, , BEST, 0, 368N, 730W, 60, 977, TS, 34, NEQ, 150, 250, 100, 100, 1010, 270, 60, 0, 0,
AL, 08, 2002091112, , BEST, 0, 380N, 708W, 70, 971, HU, 34, NEQ, 150, 225, 100, 100, 995, 250, 60, 0, 0,
And again, I did get the NHC to admit it might be a tie. We just have to wait for the final report. At best, it will officially be a tie. However, Gustav became a 70 knot hurricane at the same time Humberto became a 65 knot hurricane. An argument could be made that Gustav cross the 64 knot threshold first. But all it will ever be officially, at best, is a tie. |
