Your Favorite Hurricane Pair (Devastation Included!)

[HURAKAN]

This is kind of a nightmare scenario, and it may be kind of out-of-this-world, but what would be your favorite hurricane pair? Imagine that two hurricanes work together to create a catastrophic scenario, what those Atlantic hurricanes be! By the way, they don't have to come in the same year. Remember, is your imagination showing two powers uniting for a common goal. That sounds like politics!

In my catastrophic scenario I would get Mitch and the Labor Day Hurricane. Imagine combining both storms and having a Mitch deliver immense amounts of water over Central America, and then have the hurricane making landfall with the intensity of the Labor Day Hurricane when it made landfall in the Keys in 1935. That would go farther than Hollywood in catastrophic scenarios.

Opinions are always welcome!

None of them would be my favorite. I have been through enough with Katrina and Rita, especially Katrina!!!!

"FAVORITE" in this case has a double meaning, maybe the word "SCARY" or "MENACING" would be more appropriate.

I'd say without a doubt Katrina and Camille

[boca]

I said Katrina and Wilma because I experienced Wilma first hand and Katrina because of the wide devestation along Miss and La Gulf coast.

I voted other. I do not like destruction. Thus, I will vote for one of the following pairs: Ivan-Frances or Ivan-Isabel. Yes, they both caused a lot of damage, but nothing near some of the candidates on this list.

Why Ivan-Frances/Ivan-Isabel? From a purely meteorological perpsective, Ivan and Ivan-Frances are some of the best and most remarkable storms there are. Ivan-Frances is the duo that produced the most tropical activity for two storms within a single year. Ivan has the record for the most net activity production for a single storm. It also has the record for spending the most time as a major hurricane (or was it a cat 4) for any storm ever, including WPAC typhoons. Isabel and Fabian were the pair with the highest net before, so Isabel was probably a very high producer. Ivan-Isabel thus produced a lot of advisories and a lot of tropical energy, more than any other, making them my favorite duo.

Andrew and Camille! I must say that I am most fascinated by a by a hurricanes winds, and these two hurricanes blow most the others out the water (blow the landfalling hurricanes out of water, that is)

I still say that the 1-2 punch from Frances and Jeanne. Just because of the fact they came ashore at the exact same spot. Well opposite ends of Hutchinson Island I guess, if you want to get technical, but it was still remarkable. The devestation in dollars was pretty significant as well. I think 15 billion combined or something like that.

wind-Gilbert/Camille
Surge-Katrina/Gilbert.they were huge afterall
Wind/Surge-super typhoon Tip 190 mph

I hate hurricanes.

[sunny]

I hate hurricanes.

I second that.

[HURAKAN]

All I can say is that I love Nature and hurricanes are included. I would never wish a hurricane to anyone, or a volcano, or an earthquake, but they are very interesting phenomenons that we have to live with every day of our lives. Our planet would be a Mars-type planet if all these events stop happening. Our planet need them as much we need water to survive.

I voted Katrina and Camille... but probably would've selected Mitch and Camille had it been an option.

[f5]

it would of been Katrina/Rita why beacuse if Katrina went about 5 to 10 miles west of NO there won't be a N.O to rebuild iinstead we be comparing N.O to the lost city of atlantis.as far as Rita goes she would of came in as a CAT 5 and leveled the houston area all within 3 weeks apart.that would make for an excellent disaster movie but in reality human suffering is real and not hollywood.

[wxmann_91]

Gilbert and Wilma would be the ultimate pair.

Katrina and Camille for me. They brought on floods and surge that were killers. Wind we can deal with, water really screws everything up.

Have posted a Katrina video trailer of the chase and the search and rescue work I covered in New Orleans. You'll see what I mean.

When I get the documentray and the photo book out, there'll be more. Portion of proceeds will go directly to the first responders who lost everything and still went out and rescued others.

Masses of water commands respect.

BOB and the Unnamed Hurricane of 1991

I'd say without a doubt Katrina and Camille

and the worse part of that is.... they hit the same area...

What if Katrina had 200 mph sustained winds at landfall i wonder if the media would be in out in the parking lot talking about flying plywood,flying sheet metal buildings flying through the air ect?

[southerngale]

While I don't have a favorite hurricane pair, I'm surprised that Rita isn't up there at all, while other hurricanes that weren't as intense, in winds and pressure are there. hmmm, odd
