9/26/24: Helene Hitting Soon as a Once-in-a-Generation Hurricane

[@vangieadams8849]

Thank you, Josh, for your testimony. This is the first time I've watched you on KZbin. Regarding the rude comments-it is always appropriate to display courtesy & respect, even if one disagrees with another's viewpoint.

[@KrissyMeow]

I think people have to realize that "Once in a lifetime," is really dependent on the city you are in. This very well might be for the big bend if it does as the models are showing. That doesn't mean that X hurricane that wrecked your home wasn't bad. It just means that it may have different historic records broken for certain areas. None the less, be a little more kind and patient with everyone. This is stressful for everyone in the path. You aren't the only person worrying about this. Sure some KZbin forecasters are gleeful about this stuff because it's big money for them, but I truly think people like Josh are doing their best to try to help people. Good luck all out there and stay safe.

Josh is not trying to bait you in with “click bait”, read in a couple comments. He seems like a good dude. I’m sure he has logical reasons for saying “once in a generation”, that’s about 20 years. I wish someone would have warned us about storm surge before Katrina. Nobody predicted the storm surge that hit us in Gulfport MS, if I’d known that, I could’ve prepared to save a lot things I lost. Anyway, I just think Josh is trying to help, not wanted to get likes or subscriptions.

It's ludicrous to call Helene a once-in-a-generation hurricane. Ian in 2022 was just as powerful. Considering that the world will keep getting hotter, the atmosphere will keep absorbing more & more water vapor, plus the Gulf will keep getting hotter, thus rapid intensification will become even more severe.

@@roxannehudson7410 I think he’s referring to the flooding that’s possibly going to occur in the Carolina’s. I don’t think he’s referring to Florida only as the title just says “once in a generation”. Plus, he’s a weatherman and utuber. He’s marketing his video for views.

[@amb7440]

I think it's because of the location/trajectory of it. A huge storm like this has not hit Tallahassee or some of these areas in Apalachee bay in over a 100 years. There are many low areas (Wakulla and Franklin County) where there has been a lot of home building, and populations have increased. Also this storm is pretty large, formed fast and as he says will probably sustain as a hurricane all the way through Columbus GA - which is not normal. Oftentimes hurricanes are downgraded to tropical storms after making landfall. Lastly the predictions on storm surges are really enormous. The winds will kill and injure some people but the storm surge has potential to kill hundreds and possibly more.

[@Blubirdmoon111]

🎉This huge storm is likely a once a year thing now since climate change has the water there now 80-100 degrees F, that is generating the intensity- I heard climate experts 7 years ago saying we would start seeing insanely huge storms more often due to climate warming and especially the hot water temps from that. Sounds like marine life is dying off also. due to the heat. Just like the insects have mostly died off… and now the birds are getting to be fewer in many areas….

The models are outdated - within 12 hours of the model intensity I showed from Tropical Tidbits - the intensity was already 15 mph too weak. If you watched Michael and Ian and Dorian and every other Category 4 or greater, the models all failed to get strong enough. I am simply highlighting that weakness because it is important for the people in the path.
