The latest reports posted are Franklin,Harvey,Rita and Zeta.Only Beta's report is left now.The Zeta report says something about an unnamed system in 2005,interesting that statement.

[CrazyC83]

Also note that Zeta did NOT beat Alice's record for latest storm (missed by 6 hours) and Rita's peak intensity was increased to 180 mph, but made landfall at 115 mph.

[CrazyC83]

Wow it is now stronger than Katrina but Katrina's damaged surpassed everything.

It's because Katrina hit a much more heavily populated area. Had Rita hit that area, it would have been just as devastating.

[f5]

Katrina's surge was higher than Rita's beacuse 1)Katrina came in from a 90 degree perpenducilar angle 2)the coast line in shallower also the louisiana mississippi coastline looks like an upside down L which piles that surge in there.

[Audrey2Katrina]

Wow it is now stronger than Katrina but Katrina's damaged surpassed everything.

It's because Katrina hit a much more heavily populated area. Had Rita hit that area, it would have been just as devastating.

It would have been bad, any storm that size would've been very bad; but I doubt "just as devastating" really can't tell, but anything is possible I suppose... Katrina had a larger windfield, and made landfall at a higher intensity. But I do want to say that I was among the few here who held steadfastly that she'd be reported as a Cat 3 landfall and not "downgraded" to a 2... she wasn't upgraded at all... just kept what she was originally reported as.

its amazing how many Category 5s had winds way higher than the 156 mark.175,180,185 does it make any difference in terms of damage with winds that far over 156?

[Audrey2Katrina]

I would certainly imagine that 175-180 mph winds would do considerable more damage than 156 mph, both would be catastrophic, but hard as it is to conceive, at 30 mph higher, I gotta believe it would be "more" catastrophic. Fortunately the propensity of these storms is for them to decrease/weaken before they make final landfall.

A2K

[f5]

i hope strong CAT 5s don't become the norm beacuse if a 170-185 mph CAT 5 strikes a major city like Houston or Miami the damage would look like Hiroshama .

[Andrew92]

Wow! I didn't expect four reports to come out in one day. In any event, now only two reports are left. Beta and the newly-discovered subtropical storm. At least, I would think there would be a report on the unnamed subtropical storm anyway.

i hope strong CAT 5s don't become the norm beacuse if a 170-185 mph CAT 5 strikes a major city like Houston or Miami the damage would look like Hiroshama .

If it were to hit New Orleans with those speeds, not to mention the surge, (although unlikely) it would look like the areas hit by the Tsunami of last year, for HUNDREDS of miles, and the Louisiana coastline below Pontchartrain would be all but gone!

NO would become the next lost city of Atlantis it would simply drown with catastrophic wind damage on top.if a CAT 5 were to hit Houston the skyscrapers would sway.it would look like an earthquake in Tokyo

Yes Andrew92 and they released one from the EPAC too.The report left is one that you haved been waiting,Hurricane Beta right?

[brunota2003]

Zeta was the 27th and final named storm in the Atlantic during 2005, establishing the
record for the most named storms in one year in that basin.(1) (1)The National Hurricane Center has also identified an unnamed subtropical storm that formed earlier in 2005.

sorry...had to change the one...that is interesting...i think i know what it is though...very interesting cycloneye...

I was rather shocked when I read that, even after reading through three other reports before getting there. I want to hear about this one!

[Derek Ortt]

as I've said before, its very unlikely that Houston will EVER see cat 3 sustained because it is NOT a coastal city. Even in cat 4s and 5s, the major hurricane winds do not affect people that far inland. It would be over land for about 2-3 hours from landfall to arrivial in Houston, which should weaken the storm by 1-2 categories.

That said, cat 2 winds will devastate a city, or even cat 1 as I saw first hand last October

Isabel didnt weaken rapidly...it was a weak Cat 2 at landfall...about 12 hours later still a 70 MPH tropical storm...
EDIT: took out hurricane, inserted tropical storm...my mind is in other places...

[Derek Ortt]

its much easier to survive longer relatively speaking while at a lower intensity. Even Andrew after just 4 hours over land weakened by about 2-2.5 categories, and it was undergoing RI at landfall

That's true. Strong hurricanes tend to weaken rapidly to about Category 1-2 not long after landfall, but then dissipation seems to slow down.

I agree. Very true though some think otherwise. Houston is inland 50 miles or so from Galveston. The smaller cities in-between would take the brunt of surge and wind. Un-luckly, I live next to hobby airport which is 40 miles inland.
