Just when you think you’re out, the Weather Gods pull you back in…
I remember a few decades back there was a hurricane level storm coming for California. When it arrived it was more a standard rain storm than a hurricane. Also, when did they start naming tropical storms rather than full fledged hurricanes? Seems like a new thing to me.
Not at all. Storms have always been named once they graduate from a depression to a tropical storm.
Well, not “always”. Naming didn’t start until 1930 or so.
I meant since they started naming storms. I don’t think there’s ever been a time that they waited until they were hurricanes to name them.
And I think it happened later than that. The 1935 Labor Day hurricane didn’t have a name.
Here in northern Virginia we just suffered through Light Breeze Martha, and before that Slightly Above Seasonal Temperature Day Ned. I tell you, the end is nigh!
Storms with names are more Climate-Changey than storms with numbers. Especially when you realize we’re in the middle of a Climate Crisis involving the most simultaneous storms since the antediluvean year 1992!
