Historical Tropical Remnants In The Midwest

Thanks for the Frederic post, Hoosier.

I just loved that storm-followed it on the news back then(not even a weather channel then), from when they were filming in Mobile and the roof of the hotel they were in was bucking up and down, to the flooding it brought all the way up to Buffalo, and beyond. Such a long stretch of nearly continuous five inch + rainfall. I think it caused the most serious flooding in this area since 59-can't think of anything since that flooded so many neighborhoods in and around Columbus.

Why be sorry? Other regions are more than welcome to post in our sub-forum. As long as you come in peace... :devilsmiley::lol:

Why are some of those tracks have the storm restrengthening to a TS from a TD over land?

The older the storm, the more unreliable the data may be, but I think it's a labeling issue. Wunderground doesn't have a different color for "extratropical storm" so they just use the same color that they do for tropical storm. We know that remnants can strengthen as they undergo baroclinic transition...Ike is a good recent example of that.
