Most Interesting Storms in the last 5 years.

#1 Postby HurricaneRyan » Mon Aug 27, 2012 11:15 pm

What have been the most interesting storms to track in the last 5 years in your opinion? Post your thoughts here.

My faves are:

Dean and Felix (2007): It's not too often we get two Category 5 storms, but the fact they both made landfall at that intensity was incredible. I wasn't born during Andrew, Camille, or the Labor Day hurricane so it was cool to see that happen.

Ike (2008): Ike really lasted long and went from being a typical Cape verde storm to a huge catastrophic Cat 2 hurricane.

Igor (2010: The storm was incredible looking and lasted so long and I didn't expect it to do so much damage in Newfoundland

Otto, Paula, Richard, Shary, & Tomas (2010): As a whole, they made October 2010 a very exciting month on the Atlantic

Irene (2011): The drama surrounding this storm was exciting

Ophelia and Philippe (2011): They both lasted for quite awhile, and Ophelia got a second life and managed to hit Category 4 status and Philippe lasted for awhile as well which rocked.

Isaac (2012): A tropical storm with 971 mb? What the heck? That's crazy! It's gonna reach hurricane status soon but if not, a tropical storm with that low of a pressure is just crazy.

What are your choices?
