Of course, they are hedging their bets, because they wouldn’t want to go on record and say something like that will happen for sure
Will Pennsylvania be hit with a hurricane this year? A top forecast for 2025 is here
Hurricane researchers are predicting another active Atlantic hurricane season, with as many as 17 possible storms and at least one hurricane that could impact Pennsylvania, according to experts from Colorado State University.
Long considered the most respected of hurricane forecasts, the CSU research team released their initial predictions last week, stating that nine of those storms could become hurricanes, with four expected to develop into major hurricanes at Category 3 strength or above. A typical year averages about 14 tropical storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes, according to data from the CSU team from 1991 to 2020.
Yeah, well, CSU is hot and cold, sometimes good, sometimes not. They predicted 23, then upped it to 25, then down to 23. There were 18. They were on the money for hurricanes and major hurricanes, at 11 and 5.
Since Pennsylvania is not located along the East Coast, Colorado State did not estimate the odds of a named storm, hurricane or major hurricanes impacting the Keystone State. One hurricane is forecasted to hit upper Delaware area and South Jersey this season, according to Accuweather, which could impact Pennsylvania.
Oh, so, wait, it isn’t that CSU is making the prognostication, it is Philly Burbs.
Due to their location, no hurricanes have hit Pennsylvania directly, although the remnants of several have devastated the state, leading to numerous deaths, extreme storm surges, damages in the billions and massive power outages.
Hurricane Sandy impacted Pennsylvania when it raced up the East Coast and made a rare turn toward New Jersey in October 2012. Sandy devastated the Garden State, leaving at least 38 dead, and had a destructive and deadly impact in Pennsylvania. At least 12 people died in Pennsylvania as a result of Sandy, according to the CDC.
Except, by the time it hit NJ it was not longer a hurricane, particularly since a massive cold front interacted with the storm.
The East Coast has a 26% chance of getting hit by at least one major (Category 3, 4 or 5) hurricane, which is above the average 21%, according to records from 1880 to 2020. Major hurricanes have wind speeds of at least 111 mph.
Obviously, this is all your fault if a hurricane hits Philly. Maybe it could clean the streets.
During my years in the Keystone State, we had effects from exactly one, which wasn’t even a hurricane, but Tropical Storm Sandy.
The effects? It blew down an old, not particularly healthy evergreen tree in our neighbor’s yard, which crossed his fence into our yard, but did no damage to our property. Pete had it cut up and hauled away before I got home from work that evening.
A hurricane could theoretically track right up between Jersey and Delaware, to directly strike the City of Brotherly Love, but Pennsylvania is mostly an inland state.
Hurricane Researchers at Colorado State U? Hopefully Trump will end useless speculation by ending federal subsidies to all colleges/universities. Let private money pay if the research is so good.
Relax. You can ignore global warming. #47 has put an end to it.
Relax. #47 is ending ALL government support for basic, physical, clinical research.
Private investment and profit seeking will take care of Alzheimers Disease, childhood cancers, blood cancers, ALS, muscular dystrophy, pandemics, drug addiction, COPD, broken ankles… end ALL government support of scientific research, ALL DEI/disability payments. Smartly end ALL government support of Social Security, Medicare ad Medicaid.
Rimjob: Private investment and profit seeking will take care of…
Galera Therapeutics to the contrary.
Capitalism weeds out the losers.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
of course you lie but notihing new there from your ilk….losers
Such nonsense and lies. You realize that no one believes you, right? So Pathetic but keep on crying.
Sounds good, ED. When does it happen?
Yeah, the hurricane to hit Pennsylvania will be the one they use weather manipulation/modification to force a hurricane to track to Pennsylvania…the only way it happens, the end.
Influential Presidential Advisor, Laura Loomer, claimed weather manipulation was used to create a blizzard over Iowa during the caucuses to limit turnout of her guru.
Right-wingers claimed the hurricane in Western North Carolina was caused by leftist/communist weather manipulation.
Rep Marjorie Taylor Greede (R-Uranus) claims CA wildfires were caused by leftist space lasers.
MAGAts need to keep their eye on the tricky leftists with all their science and education!!
there is no human force that can alter hurricanes…get real they throw off the equivalent energy of an atomic weapon every minute.
Look at HAARP, it’s been doing it for years. Microwave arrays beam heat and control weather.
Reading tarot cards or playing around with an ouija board is not a good reference to your forecasting talents on your resume…
Just saying…
Shades of Hurricane Agnes??? That was in 1972 and it was part of a one two punch that hit the state.
I don’t know who Doyle is but, he obviously lives in a different century. They have EVERY capability to manipulate the weather and, they often do. Hurricanes don’t land INLAND. W. North Carolina and Tennessee are clear evidence of weather manipulation. It isn’t “right wing” or “left wing” to point it out either. They’ve had this capability for a VERY long time. (Demonstrated in old news reels and even Disney shorts from the 60’s. The only question is, what do the people in power need? A natural resource like the lithium they need in North Carolina? They found a way to get those people out FAST.
Thus CSU proved the NOAA wasnt needed at all.
Fifty years ago when I lived in Pennsylvania they were still talking about Hurricane Agnes from 1972. Back then, of course, they called it weather.
My hometown in Mifflin County, in central Pennsylvania, was flooded by Hurricane Agnes in 1972.
