Do you ever think about how the night Steph died Cass was running all over Gotham in the middle of a gang war asking people where she was. Cassandra “Nobody Dies Tonight.” Wayne loves Steph so much she ignored Bruce's orders to stop worrying about Steph and focus on the war. She HAD to find her. She just had to. For once something scared her on the same level of innocent people dying and it was STEPH specifically dying.

And then that fear came true :)

2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Summary

Welcome back to Rowan's Meteo Corner and the third Annual Atlantic Hurricane Season Summary! If you see this post somewhere else that's because this is the first year that I'm cross posting this to Threads and technically Instagram as well. I won't plug, but if you see it, it's probably me.

Disclamers: This is posted the DAY AFTER THE END OF HURRICANE SEASON and off season storms do exist, so a storm could possibly form before the end of the year and be counted as a 2024 Atlantic Storm. Also, this are unofficial cost estimates coming from early surveys, so things may change.

With that, have some delicious data!

ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) Score: ~161.6 units (Extremely Active)

This is the highest ACE score since 2020, which had an ACE score of ~180.4,

This is also the 4th year in the 2020's with an above average ACE score (2021 and 2023 were considered "above normal" and as previously stated 2020 was considered "extremely active").

For those who don't know ACE is calculated by adding or summing together the squares of the maximum sustained velocity of all storms that are at least tropical storm strength at the recorded six hour intervals, then divide that by 10,000 to make it less complicated (definition from the National Hurricane Center butchered by your local dingus).

Major Hurricanes (anything with 1 minute sustained winds of over 111 mph or 178 km/h: 5 (Beryl, Helene, Kirk, Milton, Rafael)

We'll get more into the nitty gritty of some of these storms in my record/history section!

Hurricanes (anything with 1 minute sustained winds of over 74 mph or 119 km/h): 11

Named Storms: 18

Depressions: 18

One tropical disturbance was given the title of Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 in mid-September, but never formed into a storm or depression. It dissapated off the East Coast and will forever be known as PTC 8, rest in wind sheer little guy.

This was the latest starting Atlantic Hurricane Season since 2014, with the first storm, Tropical Storm Alberto, forming on June 19th.

This is also the first storm to feature two Catagory 5 Hurricanes since 2019 with Hurricanes Dorian and Lorenzo.

Current (December 1st, 2024) damage estimates: > $222 billion USD (2024)

If these estimates hold true, that would place this as the second costliest Atlantic Hurricane Season, overtaking the legendary 2005 season coming in at $172.3 Billion.

STORM INFO:

Strongest Storm (Barometric Pressure): Hurricane Milton (897 mbar)

Strongest Storm (Wind Speed): Hurricane Milton (180 mph/285 km/h 1 minute sustained)

Longest Lasting Storm: Hurricane Beryl (10.5 days)

Crossover Storms: None

Number of Storms Your Local Weather Dingus Weathered: One (Hurricane Francine)

RECORDS AND HISTORY:

Hurricane Beryl became the earliest forming Catagory 5 storm in the Basin, gaining that status on July 2nd and beating out 2005's Hurricane Emily which gained Catagory 5 status on July 16th.

Hurricane Milton attained the lowest recorded pressure in the Atlantic Basin in almost 20 years, becoming the 2nd most intense Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico behind Hurricane Rita (895 mbar) and the 5th most intense in the Basin behind Rite, Labor Day 1935 (892 mbar), Gilbert (888 mbar), and my beloved Wilma (882 mbar).

Hurricane Milton allowed the Atlantic to snag the storm with the lowest pressure in the world for 2024, for the first time since 2017 with Hurricane Maria. Is this important, no, but it's still a very interesting fact to me.

Hurricane Helene dropped record amounts of rain in North Carolina, Georgia, and is currently estimated to have caused ~$120 Billion in damages. If these estimates hold true, that puts Helene as the 3rd costliest Atlantic Hurricane behind Harvey and Katrina (both are tied for first, so is Helene technically 2nd?) at $125 Billion.

CW: Discussions of death tolls, nothing specific, but still I wanted to put a warning.

I'm not doing death toll facts both out of respect for the dead (I'm still on the fence about some of my jokes, but jokes are the Gen Z way) and for the fact that they're always changing. This was one of the deadliest seasons in recent history and every person lost, counted or not, will be gravely missed

RAAA, you hear that lord, I did it! Now I can finally lay down and die! (Trail to Oregon reference)

Please take this time to see if you can afford to donate to relef efforts in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. If you have money, time, food, or supplies that you're able to spare, please see if it can be donated, especially as it starts getting colder.

Next Year's naming list starts June 1st with the name Andrea.

Goodnight Atlantic, rest well and please give us a break, I beg, we cannot take this anymore.

New Robin on the block, hoping to make a change. Little Bird doesn’t know that nothing changes in Gotham. And nothing good comes from birds putting their nose where it doesn’t belong.

Alas, I forgot I had tumblr. I’m a cosplayer too now. Have part one of this photoshoot for Robin!Steph.

[weatherdingus]

Hey there! New year and a new post!

Commissioner Gordon: And if you kick every depressed orphaned twink out of Gotham who’s gonna patrol the streets.

Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian: Oh, that’s not.

Commissioner Gordon: No, I mean in the sense that.

Feel free to reblog/like!

2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season Summary

Boo, bitches, he's back with more Hurricane Info! I'm probably going to do this for the EPac too this time (what can I say, your boy branched out this year).

ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) Score: ~145.5 Units (above normal)

This marks the 3rd year in the 2020's with an above average ACE score (2020 was considered "extremely active" and 2021 was "above normal").

Major Hurricanes (anything with 1 minute sustained winds of over 111mph or 178 km/h): 3

Hurricanes (anything with 1 minute sustained winds of over 74 mph or 119 km/h): 7

Named Storms*: 20 (fourth most active tropical cyclone season on record, tied with 1933)

*For the sake of this post I've chosen to count Subtropical Storm One as a named storm, I'll elaborate later.

Depressions: 21*

*Includes the unnamed Tropical Depression Twenty-One

One tropical disturbance was given the title of Potential Tropical Cyclone Twenty-Two in mid-November, but never formed into a storm or depression. This will forever be known as PTC 22, rip little guy.

This is the first year to have a nameable storm form in January since 2016 with Hurricane Alex, with Subtropical Storm One undergoing a subtropical transition on January 16th and managing to go semi-overlooked by the NHC until later in the season.

Another important thing to note is that we had a Category 5 Hurricane this year with Hurricane Lee, making this my first year to observe an operational Category 5 storm. Very exciting for me!

Current (December 1st, 2023) damage estimates: >3.09 Billion USD (2023)

STORM INFO:

Strongest Storm (Barometric Pressure): Hurricane Lee (926 mbar)

Strongest Storm (Wind Speed): Hurricane Lee (165 mph/270 km/h 1 minute sustained)

Longest Lasting Storm: Hurricane Philippe (12.75 days)

Crossover Storms: None

Number of Storms Your Local Weather Dingus Weathered: Zero!

This was my first Atlantic Hurricane Season to study now that I'm officially studying Meteorology in College, it almost feels surreal to me. This was my hyperfixation, but now this is what I'm planning on doing for the rest of my life. It's not gonna be all charts and rainbows, believe me it's gonna get beyond rough, but I'm willing to keep at it.

Next year's naming list starts June 1st with the name Alberto.

Goodnight Atlantic, rest well and please stop spitting on the Gulf Coast, we can't deal with it anymore.

Love that Tim Drake is the kind of person who's entire life is on fire and he's like yes. A list will fix this. And then generates the most depressing list the world has ever scene while like, 90's skateboarding shredder music plays in his brain because he's soooo nailed it and this is totally gonna fix his life this time.

[weatherdingus]

POV you’re my friends witnessing me go nuts over tim drake 24/7

[weatherdingus]

Kon: Wait. If Tim Drake is Robin...

Bart: And Dick Grayson is Nightwing...

Kon: Then that means... My god...

Bart: It's so obvious! It all makes sense!

Kon and Bart: ALFRED PENNYWORTH IS BATMAN!!

Tim: The lights are on, but there's no one home upstairs.

“Some nap. I slept all day. I’ve got a lot of excuses to think up.”

–Tim Drake (Robin #87 – Secrets Revealed)

[weatherdingus]

Happy Batman day to HER!!

[ ID comic panel from Batgirl (2000). It is a close up of Cass Cain’s face. She is speaking and there are three text bubbles that say

“You might not want to be Batman— to take over for him when he’s… done. But I do it’s the only thing I’ve ever… wanted to be. Is that… wrong?” ]

[weatherdingus]

Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:

The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition

The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man

[weatherdingus]

“Why’s Tim Drake your favorite Robin?” Well thank you for asking it’s because of his Audacity
