On this day in 2023, category 5 Hurricane Otis made landfall near Acapulco. It was the strongest landfalling Pacific hurricane on record, surpassing Patricia in 2015. It was also the costliest hurricane to make landfall in Mexico, with damage totaling $12-16 billion. It was originally forecasted to remain a weak tropical storm, but explosively intensified unexpectedly. In just 24 hours, winds increased by a whopping 115mph, the 2nd fastest in the basin. Only behind Patricia in 2015.

#Milton back to Category 5. Intense hurricane at the core. Does it go to astronomical level again back below 900 mb tonight? We'll see. Hurricane hunters will be in there tonight. Has about 6-10 more hours of interference free atmosphere for intensification.

Hurricane Melissa, the world’s most powerful storm of the year so far, has just made landfall in Jamaica as a catastrophic category 5 hurricane. Wind gusts could exceed 200mph with a powerful storm surge heading for the south coast in the coming hours. Thoughts with all affected.

I think we might need to invent a new term for Rapid Intensification for this Blizzard. Because it is about to BLOW the normal parameters OUT OF THE PARK. ✅Normal rapid intensification, or Bombogenesis, is defined as a Storm dropping 24 millibars in pressure in 24 hours. That alone is an incredibly high rate. ⏫This Storm is forecast to deepen nearly DOUBLE that rate, with pressure falling OVER 40 millibars in just 24 hours. That kind of strengthening is almost UNHEARD OF. 💨 At peak intensity, this Storm may even LOOK like a Hurricane on satellite, with a tight core and powerful wind field wrapping around it. ⚠️ This level of intensification is exactly why impacts could become so extreme. 👊 This Storm is the REAL DEAL, my brotheren. Get ready to witness history.

WOW! What a storm on visible satellite from GOES-17. Pressure nearing 970mb equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane. This storm is thousands of miles wide. Will produce the severe storms tonight in the PNW. A meteorological marvel from space. A perfect Fibonacci spiral.
