Is this rapidly intensifying yet?

I can't believe these kids on other forums. We have an organizing 75 mph hurricane and they're acting like it's not bad because it hasn't exploded into a Cat 5 yet.

This is what happened when you're born into a post-Katrina world, believing every storm reaches 175 mph.

Which cliché will be invoked at the end of Laura? Will it be "If she just had 12 hours more time over water" or maybe the "magical windshear"?

This Atlantic season goes to show that, no matter how "good" a season is, there will always be folks complaining 

The only impressive thing about this season is running through the name list. You don't have a dissipating Marco near the Gulf coast at the end of August in a true blockbuster season.

Good points, we’ve had a ton of names, but not a lot of very strong storms. Laura may break this trend, but it appears to have an uphill battle as well.

We're barely into peak season and might have a major 'cane on our hands the next 48 hours. I'm pretty confident it won't be the last.

DT breaking up with the Euro is hilarious. I thought he was ride or die for that model. 

He isn't. Quite the opposite really. I told him the Euro has performed poorly since the upgrade and he said that was bs

Hey guys! Two questions. 
1. Anyone care to guess what some of those cumulonimbi tops are in this ring wrapping around the center?

2. Anyone with aviation knowledge know what the p3 and other weather aircraft are programmed with or what is installed in the cone of the planes to avoid direct lightning strikes or how it is “safe” and I use that word laughing flying into something like this?

Some of us remember Hurricane Camille in 1969 with a 24 foot storm surge that took too many people by surprise. Hurricane parties in hotels on the beach were washed away during the landfall killing dozens of foolish people. Granted I was in Colorado Springs at the time, but we Cub Scouts went around collecting food and supplies for victims after that.

 

Indiscriminately partying in the face of danger is an American pastime.
