For the first time since 1971, the National Hurricane Center is tracking 5 named storms at the same time in the Atlantic. Of primary interest is Sally, which will hit the Louisiana/Mississippi border as things stand now in a day and a half. Looks to be a strong Cat 2 at landfall, and not a lot of time for preparation. Right now we are up to "V", well ahead of any prior naming record, and we still have about a month and a half of significant storm season left, and another month of lessening but still reasonable chance.
2020 - well at least there were fewer tornadoes than average

Throw in a volcano or two, and we're all set.

Throw in a volcano or two, and we're all set. Both Mount Sinabung and Taal Lake erupted this year, but so far we have not seen the crazy (compared to the seven years before) amount of volcanism that we saw in 2019. Large earthquakes are down so far. There were no major tsunamis in 2019 or 2020. There have been six F4 tornadoes in the United States this year. The first was in Tennessee in March before coronavirus. There were three in Mississippi and one in South Carolina in April. The most recent F4 was in Minnesota on July 8, 2020. There have been more F4 tornadoes in 2020 than the previous three years combined. Six is the most F4 tornadoes in a year since 2014 (seven). Media coverage leaves much to be desired. |
