Heather's Weather Whys Episode 7: Hurricane Huron

[@knucklehoagies]

Imagine living in Michigan and all of a sudden you realize you're inside a hurricane like wut...?

[@jasonwebb1882]

Yeah that would have been crazy as hell. I made a bet with my son about this. Now it is cheating cuz I already knew the answer. But it worked out for the best, he cleaned his dirty ass room for a change. Lol

[@vkstar.]

Wow.. I live in michiagn

[@orgues002]

I remember this in 1996 i was 17 it was a bad.

[@sxlarexlipse555]

I wouldn't be surprised, Michigan's great lakes deadass thinks it's an ocean.

[@xenai.]

Imagine just watching tv and a you get a hurricane warning Would he absolutely shocked

[@Lucidleo-li8yu]

I remember when this happened. I was only 22 yo and a student at U of M in Michigan. I remember this storm produced a lot of wind and rain for the region. It definitely looked like a mini hurricane on radar. So interesting that Heather covered this event. Great job!

[@roygoodhand1301]

Not only was I alive for this, I was old enough to remember it, as I was 13 at the time. Yes, this really happened. Yes, we consider it a hurricane up here in Michigan. It's about time other areas started acknowledging this really happened.

[@gordonsew424]

So u must be abt 37 yrs old now xD

[@bollcraft7299]

Wikipedia says it was in fact a hurricane

[@zachatck64]

It was technically a hurricane, just subtropical

[@ninjasiren]

A little weird sub-tropical storm.

[@ninjasiren]

@Ozone it will still be a storm because it caused stormy conditions. That term is even used by most folks at NOAA.

[@allencardinal9822]

It was 1 MPH point from being a hurricane, but the other replies say it was sub tropical cyclone whatever that means, so eat some salt and call it a day

[@Pablo-gx5fl]

[@MetroCSN]

Suggest you look at the "White Hurricane" of November 8-10, 1913. Winds were of hurricane force (almost category 2) with waves as high as 35 feet on both Huron and Michigan.

[@CitrusPeppercorn]

If Panama city can upgrade Michelle to cat 5 let's upgrade haron to a hurricane.

[@chromosomehaver6620]

It was a sub tropical storm :D

[@chromosomehaver6620]

Ozone why u the lake house

[@ninjasiren]

@Ozone wasn't the term sub-tropical storm is same with sub-tropical cyclone?

[@alex_in_nc]

Ozone A subtropical storm/cyclone is one that has both tropical and extratropical characteristics. It has a warm core, but the system itself is asymmetric, meaning it can not be considered fully tropical.

[@thenmhc6210]

@Ozone Subtropical cyclones and hurricanes are NOT the same

[@thenmhc6210]

@Ozone Subtropical Storms have a larger Wind Field than Tropical Cyclones. Tropical Storms are more compact, while Subtropical Storms are more broad. Get your facts right

[@imbwildrd3693]

Her-on, Heur-on, Her-on, Heur-on, Her-on WHICH IS IT LADY?? lol (of course I know it's pronounced Heuron)

[@vkstar.]

Welp, I live in Michigan and I don’t plan on moving anytime soon

[@MilwaukeeMax]

More evidence that the Great Lakes should be considered as a different category altogether, and perhaps called something more appropriate like “freshwater seas” and not “lakes”

[@hughhaefner5486]

I was just reading that the word "lake" actually does not apply to the great "lakes", because a lake is defined as a land locked body of water. Out Great Lakes empty into the Atlantic Ocean thereby making these greats not land locked bodies of water. Fascinating documentary that was.

[@hughhaefner5486]

They are inland seas.

[@MilwaukeeMax]

Hugh Haefner I think it’s worth reconsidering how we classify bodies of water; I believe they technically they are “lakes”, but that classification doesn’t accurately reflect their size, ecology and environmental effect. When a body of water is large enough to create its own weather and, in fact, even produce a hurricane level cyclone like they have, it doesn’t make sense to call them “lakes”. Freshwater sea or inland sea sound more appropriate in lieu of a different nomenclature.

[@hughhaefner5486]

@@MilwaukeeMax that's what I said. They are inland seas technically. I would love to find out who was responsible for calling them lakes when the definitions are clearly different. You are correct and I agree.

[@MilwaukeeMax]

Hugh Haefner maybe we should start a petition to have their names changed? I would be on board.

[@josiahpresberry1263]

That would be funny if a hurricane formed up there lol

[@melgeezy3325]

Canada and States near hurricane Huron. "AYO WHAT THE FUQ?!"

[@SonicmanTheBest]

I was actually alive when this happened. Of course, I would have been way way too little to remember. Plus, not living in the upper midwest or northeast US is another reason.

[@ronv6637]

Was working in that area at that time but don't remember it

[@mikegass2272]

Uh, the 1913 storm had winds over 75 m.p.h.

[@jondillinger899]

90 to be exact and sunk over 13 ships

[@ninjasiren]

What she was saying here was the 1996 storm

[@mikegass2272]

@@ninjasiren yes aware of that. just pointing out that the 1913 storm was longer & more intense than the 1996 " hurricane".

[@Sheepshead18]

The Great Lakes Storm of 1913 didn't have any tropical characteristics though, unlike the storm that she is talking about in this video.

[@tripletgalaxy]

The 1913 storm was fully extratropical, while this sorm may have been subtropical.

[@sublike6639]

1:26 I rate that 9/11

[@gohan__]

Elite sup-tropical storm Huron

[@icebreaker1264]

Comme Lake Ontario give me one of those

[@ninjasiren]

So this might happen again?

[@Demonic_Culture_Nut]

It's not if it happens again, but when. I'm not going to expect a storm like this in any particular year, but it will happen again. Probably not in my lifetime, probably not in my children's lifetimes, but eventually.

[@andrewapurcell]

stop giving 2020 more ideas!!

[@Hannymcfee]

No, this has already happened

[@ninjasiren]

Mother nature knows this already, she can just drop it again depends on her.

[@allencardinal9822]

2020 Just dropped a FREAKING CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE, I HATE LIFE

[@allencardinal9822]

@土豆丑陋 Okay I'll take your word, because I've started looking on the radar as a hobby like a NERD, but not for very long, maybe like 10 months

[@lexistacy9980]

Meh Michigan has bad water maybe they’ll get new water

[@DocLogic123]

Its pronounced here-on lady

No, it is NOT.

​@@DocLogic123 You aren't the only one. I live in Michigan as well and I also pronounce Huron as here-on. Always have and always will.

[@jondillinger899]

what about the white hurricane of 1913 with 90 mph winds

[@unitgamex2972]

Wasn't tropical

[@hypercane2023]

wasn’t tropical

[@hansmichaelables3143]

It's not a sea it's a lake how does hurricane can form in a lake

[@Demonic_Culture_Nut]

It's not about what we humans categorize þe body of water as, but its size.

[@DrunkenGuitarGuy]

that reflecting is annoying, i doubt she still wears it!

[@PD-we8vf]

You keep mispronouncing it. Hearon.

You didn’t even bother to use proper grammar (“For a woman, she seems pretty smart.” would be correct) and you have the audacity to insult the intelligence of females? I bet you’re a 50-year-old bald man who lives in his mom’s basement. You’re pathetic and sad.
