It looks like Louisiana is set to be hit by her another tropical cyclone this year - Hurricane Zeta.
From 2010 to 2020, U.S. coastlines were hit by 19 tropical cyclones that qualified as billion-dollar disasters, generating approximately $480 billion in damages, adjusted for inflation. New research indicates that by late 21st century, northeastern U.S. cities will see worsening hurricane outcomes. news.agu.org/press-releas…
TIL That The highest wind speed ever recorded occurred on Barrow Island, Australia. On April 10th, 1996, an unmanned weather station measured a 253 mph wind gust during Tropical Cyclone Olivia. This eclipsed the previous record of 231 mph which was set by Mt. Washington on the 12th April 1934. weatherology.com/trending…

Vegetation damage reportedly produced by STY Goni on Catanduanes island. Some of the most extreme I’ve ever seen out of a tropical cyclone and akin to the aftermath of an violent tornado.
TIL One hundred years ago in 1920, the Atlantic hurricane season produced a total of six tropical cyclones. Five of those cyclones strengthened to tropical storms and four of those strengthened further into hurricanes. None of these strengthened into a major Category 3 hurricane. Three people died. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/192…
