Fast developing storms in the past

#1 Postby quaqualita » Sun Aug 17, 2008 8:31 pm

hi,
normally a storm goes through the 'stages' TD - TS - cat 1 -cat 2, etc.
Is there any resource online availble about which storms developed extreme fast in the past (let's say the last 5-10 years), so they 'skipped' one of the normal stages.

Like Fay and Dolly never were declared as a TD and went from beeing an invest streight to TS status.
Wilma in 2005 went directly from cat2 to cat 4, and if I remember correctly, Charly in 2004 jumped from cat1 to cat3.

Where can I get a list of storms that were declared TS without beeing a TD before, or other storms that skipped a category?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Hurricane Wilma, Hurricane Felix are the first ones that come to mind.

Just look for storms that underwent Explosive Intensification or Rapid Intensification. Chances are good that some of them skipped a Category or two.
