⚠️ Stay #WeatherAware

[Dan Harris @RoostWeather]

Comparison of #StormCiaran vs the 1987 "Great Storm".

Similar central pressure, but Oct 87 moved faster, had slightly stronger winds, and a more northerly track, bringing them across SE UK.

Most similar for NW #France and #Jersey (85-95kn at 5000' in Ciaran, vs 100 kn in 1987).

8 tropical cyclones ranging from tropical depression to category 5 hurricane strength have made landfall this week 👇

[Brian McNoldy @BMcNoldy]

#Otis took full advantage of a warm patch of ocean last night... passing over 31°C water on its approach to #Acapulco. The extremely rapid intensification from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane took place over this tiny area.

[Eric Blake 🌀 @EricBlake12]

Thought long and hard about the word nightmare. But a rapidly interesting, category 5 headed towards a major city that was just a TS less than 24 hours ago. That’s a nightmare scenario as Max Mayfield used to preach 🙏

[NHC Pacific @NHC_Pacific]

125 AM CDT: Category 5 Hurricane #Otis makes landfall near Acapulco Mexico with maximum sustained winds estimated to be 165 mph.

[NHC Pacific @NHC_Pacific]
