Raymond is unbelievable. Really pretty too. After all, this was a sad TS with 50 mph winds just 24 hours ago!! A 45 knot increase in 24 hours. Raymond deserves the most claps in quite some years. Firstly, it became our first major after rapidly deepening, then it took a while to reintensify, but it still made it. Then, it underwent a second round of rapid deepening, out in the open Pacific waters, where all of us, especially myself, thought it would not become a hurricane again. Truly a beautiful storm!
