I found this picture of a bunch of pictures of Typhoon Rita from the 23rd to late on the 24th of October 1978. Unfortunately, I don't think these pictures are available for the 25th, around its peak.

Again, I'm not going to bother looking through the 24-page thread to see if it had already been posted, and either way everyone's probably forgotten by then.

Image

It's from Wikipedia and source is stated as Mariners Weather Log Sep 1979 pg. 321 but I swear I've looked up and down the volumes around 1978-1979 and I can't find it.

Edit: I forgot about the gif that seems to have been made from those pictures. I have no idea how to upload gifs here though so you get the link.

Edit 2: I never actually stated what was significant about this storm. Rita '78 was one of the most intense TCs on record with the lowest recorded central pressure being 878mb. The storm also sustained a pressure of 900mb or lower for ~3.5 days.

While the storm below is quite photogenic regardless of its context, I would also like to point out the latitude of such a good looking storm.

Typhoon Bopha 2012 at category 4 intensity. RI & RD to get to this (according to agency estimates), which was still <5N. Really tells you how extreme some storms can be.

Image

I got this from the Bopha thread on this site.

You know, Cyclone Ambali from late 2019 looked pretty darn good despite being a very small cyclone

Apparently this image is from 10/25/1978...

Found within the wikipedia commons, and that eye looks so potent, 878mb worthy!

I’m simultaneously amazed at how much Franklin exceeded expectations and almost disappointed it didn’t quite make cat5, given how perfect it looked here. Talk about symmetry

I'm not sure how to post an image, but 3 storms come to mind, the first is Hurricane Carla, radar in 1961 was not like today's radar, but I always thought the image of Carla's outer bands, coming into radar range were cool, the second is Hurricane Allen, biggesr cyclone I ever saw, filled up the entire gulf, the third is Hurricane Gilbert, I always considered Gilbert to be much like Allen, just a monster storm. I'm sorry I couldn't post the images, maybe one of yall can help me out!....peace everyone...

Hurricane Jova just before sunset. Maybe we can get an even more spectacular image at sunrise.

Unfortunately Lee's cat 5 peak was at night and I can't find any of the NOAA20 images which corrected IR to visible for that specific time period. But here's a night image of the rough time period when Lee had the highest raw T#.

Lee at 0520z on September 8 (slightly after peak intensity in terms of ADT, 6.6 vs 7.0 at 2340z on September 7).
