Honestly I don't know why Emily wasn't retired back after the 2005 season. Wasn't she a Cat.5 that year?


The earliest Cat 5 on record in the Atlantic basin
Most intense hurricane before August
For whatever reason Mexico does not request names be retired.

Franklin- minimal fish hurricane, may hit Bermuda.
Gert- Caribbean cat 2, hits central america and/or Yucatan.
Harvey- Gulf storm. A cat 3 at peak. Hits somewhere along the Gulf Coast as a minimal cat 3.
Irma- Develops near the Bahamas. RI's into a weak cat 4 briefly, then gradually weakens as it rides up the East Coast, eventually grazing long island as a weak cat 1, or post-tropical storm.

These are only based on what I think the names sound like they should be :P


Somehow I predicted Harvey?

C4 Franklin (Aug 18-27; PT until 30th) 115 kt / 130 mph
Swipes the name right from under TD 7’s nose. TS forms N of the Antilles, affects Bahamas as a strengthening Cat 1-2. Looks to hit just SE of Homestead, FL but pulls an Ike and splits the Keys and Cuba. Reaches peak in Gulf before landfall in TX at 115 mph. This is the first MH landfall in the US since Wilma over 11 years ago. Dissipates as a PT near Lake Erie.


Hmmm... wrong name and initial track, but...

You were also correct with Franklin and Gert, just the names were switched and intensity was a little off, nice job!

You got it right with Harvey in terms of large area of heavy rain.

Harvey and Irma :eek: The latter two were stronger and sadly, much much much more devastating... Include Maria too

Major Hurricane Maria: October 28 - November 8
* Peak intensity - 145 kt / 920 mb

Irma and Maria are equally unforgettable. Maria's winds are a bit higher, but wow :eek: Irma was the strongest wind-wise at 160 kts... Maria was lowest in pressure at 908 mb. What a season!

From what we've seen for the past 2 months, the 2017 has done the opposite of most expectations. All named storms from Franklin until Ophelia, the easternmost major, have been hurricanes. Monthly ACE for September (175) surpassed 2004's record of 155. 2 if not 3 category 5's (Irma, Maria and possibly Jose) formed within a span of a month. A record three *major* hurricanes racked up over 40 ACE, higher than several seasonal totals each. Harvey broke the major hurricane drought for the entire US and drenched Texas with over 50" of rainfall. Afterwards, Irma breaks the major hurricane drought for Florida and becomes the strongest since Charley, striking a similar area. Lastly, Maria becomes the third major hurricane impact for the US, a record third Category 4 actually, with it being the strongest for Puerto Rico for decades and becoming their costliest natural disaster ever.

Tally as of late is 15/10/6 with an ACE of 226. Nearly identical to 2004.
