With an ace of 111.5, the 2018 atlantic hurricane season is now guaranteed to be an above average season. So much for that 10% chance prediction back in August.

Hyperactive is at or above 156 ace.

I agreed with the 10% too. El Niño was supposed to be a moderating influence. Suddenly we have three hurricanes simultaneously in October (well, 2H+1TS). Maybe it just failed to materialize despite the likelihood foreseen as late as July?

The coast is wrecked. I think a Cat 5 landfall happened.

Meanwhile I'm watching closely hurricane Leslie as it could threaten the Western Canary Islands. The AEMET (the Spanish equivalent of the NWS) has already issued a special advisory.

Beltway · « **Reply #508 on:** October 11, 2018, 03:39:43 PM »

The storm is forecast to pass thru eastern Virginia with heavy thunderstorms and heavy rain and wind, with peak winds in the 25 to 28 mph range late this evening. Looked at VA Beach and Richmond hourly forecasts on weather.com. I'll be watching the James River over the next few days to see if there will be any flooding.

I heard Michael wrecked Northern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula too. The weird thing is that most of the DOT websites have been saying the roads are clear, aside from some trees that crashed down onto them.

Not that I have heard. Plenty of (upper 20s with gusts to about 40) wind and very heavy rains at times, lots of power outages, but no major damage.

Looks like Leslie is heading for the mainland, maybe somewhere just north of Lisbon.

That is a couple miles from my house.

Has exceeded flood stage by 3 feet. That is the peak and will start declining after midnight tonight. This is only minor flooding. Water level looks close to that of Riverside Drive in a few places. Not a big deal as sometimes sections of the road have to close for a while due to something like this.

Michael is now predicted to give Ireland a miss and head toward the Iberian Peninsula instead (right after Leslie, fun), but Storm Callum has been part of a particularly rainy spell here that has resulted in rivers as high as they ever get. The Liffey was only a few feet below the tops of the bridge arches in Dublin.

I've been in Hampton Roads working the past four days. Not much damage in South Hampton Roads, some trees down in Newport News. My brother just east of Busch Gardens said there's many people in the area that's still without power, and numerous trees down. I will be back in Richmond later tonight to check out my neighborhood, I have no clue what's going on around there.

Lots of power outages in the Richmond area, probably about 20% at the beginning. I just got mine back after 48 hours without. Crews from New Brunswick repaired the damage on the line behind my house which serves about 20 homes.

Just got back home about 20 min ago. My apt is in good shape but my street has debris still scattered about. My power is on but apparently it was off at some point because I saw water on the floor in front of my deep freezer.

How far back do the 'records' go … back before weather satellites, and especially before weather aircaft full coverage, some cyclones never came near land and remained unknown by humans. I don't follow the eastern Pacific but I do follow the North Atlantic on NOAA NHC and that is certainly the case there.

1971 is what "reliable" records go to in the epac
1960 in the Atlantic for entire basin: yet the record is currently 1933, despite a lack of knowledge of what was in the deep atlantic.

Random spam

But not the one with the most storms, which is still 1992 at 27 (main list exhausted and three hawaiian storms), while this years has had "only" 22 so far (21 from the main list, one hawaiian storm). 2015 had 26 (18 from the main list and 8 hawaiian storms).

Okay, the TCR for Alberto is out... and is now entered into my database, as they have reclassified it from a subtropical to a fully tropical storm (albeit I have it as starting on May 28, when the TCR considers it became fully tropical as I don't recognize subtropical things).

Fun fact: had subtropical storms been named in 1992, Andrew would be still on the list (at the cost of one "unrecognition" by me), and Bonnie would be gone.

Willa is now a Cat 4 in the EPAC. (We’ve had TEN now) could hit Cat 5
