      Oh wow it was literally just a cat 4 like a couple hour ago.

      So this is now one of the fastest developing storms ever now and it hasn’t even gotten moving. And halved the time needed for “rapid development” as a tag.

      We are gonna need some new terms for these mega hurricanes.

        According to WaPo it is literally the fastest developing storm in recorded history. The second fastest was Beryl, and Helene was also in the top ten. The entire top ten is occupied by hurricanes from 2021 on.

      And the ground is still saturated from Helene, so it’s not going to be absorbing much of the water. The flooding will be far worse than a cat 5 on dry ground.

      this is so scary for everyone in the path. I hope the president calls a special session so they can get more relief funding.
