Which major cane suprised you the most in 2005?

[HurricaneHunter914]

I say Wilma.

ALL OF THEM IN THEIR OWN WAYS!

Emily. Early on I thought she was history, boy was I wrong

[HurricaneHunter914]

Sorry if Beta is not on there could someone add it?

[MiamiensisWx]

Can the option "all of them" be added to the poll, please? Thanks!

[JonathanBelles]

katrina, it just poped up one day off the coast of florida

[HurricaneHunter914]

Can the option "all of them" be added to the poll, please? Thanks!

I'm sorry my computer didn't allow me to add any more options.

[MiamiensisWx]

Can this poll be locked, then? I'll make the same poll with the "all of them" option. Is that OK with everyone and Luis? Thanks!

[cycloneye]

Beta and All of Them added to the options of poll.

[MiamiensisWx]

Thanks, Luis!

[HurricaneHunter914]

Thanks Luis! I didn't want this thread locked 10 min. after being made.

Wilma, I checked it late in the evening and then early in the afternoon the following day to find out it had dropped 98hPa in that period. I was in shock for about 15 minutes, lol.

When Wilma Became a cat-5 like that even thoughit wasn't even forecasted to become a cat-4 at that time I almost screamed,"It's hell all over again!"

with where it hit I thought 2500 deaths was a sure thing but I heard there was less then 5

Dennis, because it's so rare to see an early major hurricane like he was. I remember watching the coverage of his landfall and thinking, "Wait a minute, aren't we supposed to be watching stuff like this in September? It's only July!" It was pretty weird.

[HurricaneHunter914]

He was very close to becoming the only cat-5 guy named cane of 05' too.

Considering that Katrina hatched from the remnants of the long-term and on-again/off-again TD 10 - at least arguably....

Some may remember this MONSTER 85-page thread:
http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=70542&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=td10&start=0

And the associated 17-page thread on Invest 99L (and supposed TD-12):

...then, Katrina reached minimal hurricane status just before coming onshore in SE FL, maintained herself across the peninsula, became a CAT 5 in the central GOM, and slammed my home and so many others on the MS coast with unprecedented surge, there is no doubt that the easy answer for me - and countless others around these parts - is Katrina.

You can bet I was S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E-D when the water started coming in. In fact, surprise is quite easily an understatement. As a matter of fact, I can't really think of a word or phrase that would provide an apt description.

To this day, I am STILL in absolute amazement of the events I experienced on August 29, and suppose I will continue to be well into the future.....

I say Wilma. She didn't surprised me becoming a cat-5 cane, but I expected a central pressure around 910 to 900 mb, not a new record.
