Im not sure why everyone ignores what happened to us in 2018 with hurricane Michael but I can tell you the stats on google are wrong. We had CONFIRMED sustained winds over 190 MPH and we had gusts reaching over 240 mph. We got screwed by FEMA and insurance companies, ignored by the media, and denied FEDERAL AID during the whole ordeal. Some of us were without power for 2 or more months and the path of devastation was visible on satellite imagery all the way into Georgia. It took them 6 months to even come back and admit that the Hurricane made landfall as a cat 5. I dont know if adding another category to the scale is going to make a difference when we dont properly record the data anyway.

I’m surprised nobody has combated this comment yet. Anyways, hey! I’m an avid tropical cyclone tracker, and have been doing so now for the last decade. I tracked Michael from formation to dissipation back in 2018. To some possibility you may be glad to know that Michael was thankfully not 190mph, nor did it have gusts of 240mph! (As I can assure you if it did, the damage would’ve been FAR more exacerbated!). Michael did indeed make landfall as a 160mph Category 5 Hurricane, this also was its peak intensity. I utilised Reconnaissance Aircraft interception data, satellite information and data (SAB, Dvorak, STR), drop-sondes data. I can tell you with this information, the storm was a low end C5 at peak, and it peaked as previously mentioned as it made landfall in the panhandle of Florida. 🤠

@TeddyRumble Betsey, Camille, Juan, Andrew, the one that wiped out Last Island and took the lives of nearly every millionaire in the U.S. you clearly don't know what you are talking about

I think the current scale for classifying hurricanes is grossly inadequate. Hurricane Patricia was a small intense storm. Hurricanes are vastly different in size and intensity. A small category 5 that spins up fast has a limited storm surge. A large category 3 with a long fetch, while not the same wind speed can have an enormous storm surge that can wipe all evidence of human habitation from coastal areas. A storm much weaker in wind speed, but lower forward speed can dump catastrophic amounts of rain and cause thousand year floods. Until we start trusting the public with information rather than minimizing panic, people will die from ignorance. Slapping a number on a storm without really preparing people for what's coming is negligence. The 5 categories we have are already inadequate, adding the number 6 leaves the inadequacy in place and adds more confusion with deadly results.

The numbers are not there to make suggestions for what people should do they are there to represent the strength of hurricanes. What people decide to do is a completely different problem.

Hurricane threats need to be broken up into categories like how the SPC tries to define storm threats by risk of hail or damaging winds vs. just tornadoes. Only a limited area experiences the most damaging winds in a hurricane, so certain areas need to be warned more or less urgently for risks like storm surge or inland flooding.

The most succinct summary I heard about all this is from Wally Broecker. “The climate system is an angry beast, and we are poking it with sticks.”

Absolutely love your content Dr. Miles. Thanks for posting.

This is a wonderful video topic. I've been hoping someone would discuss this for some time.

I feel very fortunate to have lived in Florida 14 years and only went through Cat 1 & 2 hurricanes. Irma and Ian weren’t direct hits, and when the eye of Nicole passed over us it was a Cat 1. I cannot even imagine a Cat 5 or 6!! Ian was enough of a scare for me.

For those who asked: 157 miles per hour = 252.667 kilometers per hour

I and many others saw this coming 50 years ago. It's basic thermodynamics; increase the total energy of a closed system with continuous flow and you get more intense fluctuations in local disorder. Entropy always wins in the end.

To catogorize storms by windspeed falls short today in my opinion. Hurricanes pick up much more moisture now than before. They often move slower over the warmer ocean and at landfall the amount of rain can cause realy a lot of demage - although the windspeed is 'only' category 4.

Sandy was a pretty big storm in the US, and close to 1800 km in diameter, very late in the season, where much of the precipitation fell as snow, with a substantial storm surge.

The presentation of data and analysis in this video is very valuable for people that can understand it. Most people are not concerned with weather, and most have not been educated to comprehend the ins and outs of severe weather occurrences. What most people do understand is numerical ratings. In my opinion 1-5 should remain the standard ratings for severe weather phenomenons. I don’t see any reason to complicate it and add another numerical rating. The folks that rely on significant weather ratings to determine their safety will never need to know the difference between a cat. 5 hurricane and a cat. 6. Same goes for the Fujita scale. 1-5!

Completely agreed; quite frankly all information is made available by NOAA/NWS. Problem is the general public doesn’t care enough to understand/educate themselves about the weather. I find it amusing some of the people in the comments are berating our weather services for trying to help folks keep composure.

1st time viewer. Loved the content & presentation!!! Glad i found this.

If there is any positive notes is there is some degree of uncertainty about if larger hurricanes can produce those high end wind speeds, even with significant increases with avg ocean temp rises. This may actually lead to smaller, more compact, but exceedingly powerful storms like Patricia. We don't really know enough though on how these systems will behave long term after a few eye wall replacement cycles and if they will maintain their size or if they will spin down some strength wise but greatly expand their wind fields. In fact the over all variables guiding a tropical warm core storm's overall size is poorly understood. We have seen storms the size of a few counties all the way to storms that could cover half of the US and with eyewall wind speeds that are high or low regardless of the size. Meteorologists have a lot of work to do here in the coming years.

One thing you did not mention that is also a major factor in damage and lives being lost is hurricanes are not only able to get stronger with warmer oceans, they can also rapidly intensify much more quickly. In the past 7 or 8 years I have seen far more dramatic RI cycles including Huricanes Patricia as you noted, Michael, Idalia, Ian, and Ida among a few others and thats not even looking at t he western pacific. All had significant strength changes in under 24 (and some even less than that) hours at the upper end of forecast guidance. This can be deadly as people on the coast may see a cat 1 coming 2 days out and decide to stay put only for it to RI to a cat 4 or 5 just a day or less prior to landfall. This was a major issue with Ian and Michael.

The research by Werner and Kossin seems to contrast with review by Knutson NOAA/Geophysical fluid dynamics research lab, 2024, Global Warming and Hurricanes, An Overview of Current Research Results. The knutson review also highlights uncertainty on future predictions and even latest trend analysis. Of particular note was the mention of Swanson, 2008, who corrected data for previous under-reporting compared to present day due to observation methods. Also of note was lack of confidence in attribution to AGW by many studies. Note that even when attributions were made with medium confidence, that translates (in IPCC speak) to 5/10. To me, thats more like "really not too sure".

Wish Miles addressed Acapulco devastation.

Each category in the Saffir-Simpson scale spans roughly 20% higher than the last. A category 7 is justfied in 188mph-226mph which Hurricane Partricia was in the middle of. Wind force goes up with the cube of speed so each 20% is more like 70% more force.

Well... our scales are of course based on our experiences. We change the conditions we live in and our experiences will change. Attaching a number to anything like hurricanes allows us to reason about things like weather and expectations of what issues we will face after the phenomenon has passed. Having to add another category on top of things that were bad can hopefully have the good influence of some people reconsidering if we are going in the direction we want to be going and change their lifestyles.

Not a fan of altering historical records knowing that Barometers have been around for a very long time and are still used to gauge hurricane strength today. Also, Im pretty sure that the "coriolis effect" has nothing to do with why storms rotate.

Ask the Google... Coriolis effect does seem to be the reason.

@@incognitotorpedo42 I try not to put all my trust in Google. Anticyclonic Tornadoes? Air rotates counter clockwise around low pressure and clockwise around high pressure. I just can't see the logic in something that's "surface based" being affected by Earth's rotation, and I can't understand Why there would be any difference between northern and southern hemispheres when they're both going the same direction?

@huck2284 The surface rotates fastest at the equator right? It's going to furthest distance per 24hrs. Then as you move toward the poles, molecules have progressively less inertia, but in fluids they will still try to pull the adjacent molecules to some extent. A disk over North America you would spin the bottom (near equator) to the right and get counter-clockwise disk motion. Over South America spin the top (near equator) to the right, and the disk will rotate clockwise. At least I think that's how it works. It would be a pretty minor effect especially in air, and as you mentioned the force can be easily overcome by winds, etc. I wonder why dam spillways aka "glory holes" don't show a spin but sink drains do. Bigger diameter should be greater inertia difference between top and bottom.

@@silverecco I greatly appreciate you taking the time to explain the concept to me. Ive studied it a good bit but haven't gotten any closer to being able to except the coriolis effect theory. Do you have any idea why our weather systems move in the same direction that the earth spins across north America?

Bro if 2024 has a 200mph storm they gotta add a diff scale 💀

With high water temps this year, there can be a 200mph hurricane possible

Where all data will be weaponized for an agenda.

Measuring hurricanes by wind speed alone is definitely outdated, have there been any theoretical hurricane categories based on other elements like air pressure, wind shear, and humidity? Is there even enough data far enough back? There's so many tiny pieces of the puzzle that create these things, wind speed alone is enough for the general public to understand, but it's really not enough for the science and research anymore.

Great video btw!!

The problem wont be solved with reclassifications; more loss would be expected as they keep ignoring warnings and building in known risk areas, that are general flood zones to begin with.

Yoi also need to realize there are a more people living on the hurricane coast lines than any time in history, and we have so much data and second by second analysis we cant even compare what was recorded in the past

1970s data and onward is reliable

14:50 this table needs a source and baseline, otherwise it's just gibberish.Using 1850-1900 all the big institutions put us near 1.5C for the calendar one year average for 2023. Berkeley Earth: 1.54C, Copernicus: 1.48C, NOAA 1.35C. How do you get 1.18C for 2023.

It was a boo boo but we can read.

Except it's not. Actual global metrics of total ACE -- Accumulated Cyclone Energy -- has been DECREASING since 1990. This is absolutely the opposite of what would be happening if there was actual substantial warming around the world. Localized issues are not indicative of anything significant except "Oh, crap, we just got fucked... _We_ personally did, not everyone." This is from a study published in Geophysical Letters. 😕

Came in like a hurricane

just add more numbers to the scale

4:21 You said ‘219’ when I think you mean ‘129’.

Anything above 196MPH should just be called Cat X

because they tried to stop hurricanes with it but it didn't work

enter the hypercane a whole new storm type.

I was told Katrina was so bad because the levees broke. By someone who lived in the area. If the levees didn’t break it wouldn’t have been so bad. Human error is the main problem here.

Really? I thought cutting SO2 that causes condensation from ship tracks means more hurricanes, ocean boiling, and drought in Panama. After 1980s, reductions in particulate emissions have also caused a "partial" reversal of the dimming trend, which has sometimes been described as a global brightening aka global warming. In the near future, global brightening is expected to continue, as nations act to reduce the toll of air pollution on the health of their citizens. This also means that less of global warming would be masked in the future. After 1990, the global dimming trend had clearly switched to global brightening. And the fact La Nina is coming again. Tonga volcano added 14% more moisture in atmosphere. Which put all together climate alarmist are making hurricanes worse. Through cutting emission that cause condensation and by global brightening allowing more moisture for hurricane fuel.

tonga volcano is irrelevant since it happened in shem

of course they over estimate , everything to fit the narrative , if they underestimate no one cares . like the we enter the Anthropocene cooldown by the geologists saying no we not , but some force this narratives

Please don't leave out metric values in your fine videos. Both KZread and English are global. Thanks! 😊

​@@TheDankFarmerIf we talk about wind speed we often use m/s( as the derived SI unit ) and multiply by 0,44704 in head is not easy for everyone. So for some folks I can be helpful. Not everyone enjoys math.

Americans should remember what they owe their independence to and not be afraid of any Patricia. Let me also remind you that those ancient events took place during the Little Ice Age, when temperatures dropped to their lowest levels in almost ten thousand years.
