Here's an interesting looking little blob, in between two intense hurricanes.

I remember this one. It was an invest that has an STDS issued for it but made landfall in north carolina before it could become a depression, it got absorbed by a frontal system and was part of a huge flood event in this area.

Which will be about 2042 at this rate. HURDAT is way behind.

Looks like it is interacting with a front. I notice the date is a week after the Texas floods we had.

recon investigated the 1998 GOM system and found it was in fact extra-tropical

of note, a second flight that day found that the depression that eventually became Mitch had formed in the SW Caribbean

Wow. This storm still amazes me. I know it's definitely not (sub)tropical, but I just love this image. This is when the models starting going crazy. Later this day, the center would be over the Mid-Atlantic with a pressure in the 960's, and a derecho stretching to southern Florida. Truly the storm of the century.

That was the most amazing storm that ever was; Central America to Canada, convection unrealistically high, and snow more than 3 inches from the Deep South to New England. If only I were there... To long ago for me to remember.

I can't remember it either, but my dad says the temeperature fell from the 70's to the 40's in about 2 hours in Polk County, FL. Wind chill likely in the low 30's. MAN I wish I were old enough to remember it.

I think the derecho wind speeds were over 85 miles an hour, if I recall correctly. Did any trees fall around your house or anything (not that you would remember, but...)?

Not here. It was windy, gusts in the 40mph range, but sus. probably stayed 30ish. What caught Florida off guard wasn't the derecho itself, it was the following temerature plunge.

Well... the derecho did too... but... yeah. Okayt, both the derecho and the freeze caught Florida off guard.

Yeah, that does sound pretty nasty. Was it in the middle of the day or something?


Ok, let's continue with the picture posting now as well.

I remember that one! That is the Great Storm of 1993. Some call it a superstorm. It was unusually cold when it happened. I can't think of any storm that large.

"I can't think of any storm that large."

That's because, bascially, there isn't one.

Wikipedia has [had] a reference stating that some huge number of the population was affected, and the storm caused around 6-10 billion dollars in damage, although 6 is much more likely than 10.
