Re: Ugliest storms ever
Those centers look just idk. Its so bad I cant find anything to compare it with. Its like Odette saw this topic and was like, "let me show these fools what ugly really is!" Even Barry had a swirl to speak of. Odette is just well, Odette. New class of ugly all on its own.

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

Floyd in 1987, an 80 mph hurricane. Center over Key West, mid-level circulation sheared completely away with an eye-like near Cape Canaveral.

Lee's another that really should've been classified subtropical for a portion of the track, if not most of it.

Although that is clearly a tropical cyclone, it is a terrible looking one.

Another one of Floyd 1987 at peak intensity near the Florida Keys.

Looks more like a MCC than a tropical cyclone.

Georges in 1980, a hurricane, in the NW Atlantic. The depression over Texas (Danielle) looked far better after 36-48 hours over land.

Without reading the caption in detail I thought Georges was the one over Texas. Didn't even notice the hurricane at first.
