The wind even sounds different when a storm makes landfall while strengthening compared to a weakening storm. The intensity and ferocity is different.


Katrina was weakening when it made landfall. Never experienced any wind like that in my life. Hundreds of trees fell on our property in St Tammany and knocked out power for a month.

A hurricane can still be very strong while it’s weakening. Besides Michael which isn’t comparable to many storms because of its absolute strength the perfect example of a strengthening hurricane at landfall is Harvey. Those videos from Rockport, Tx were incredible with the ferocity of the wind.

The eye wall will be more intact and the backside won’t be deteriorated or completely missing like it is when storms are deteriorating. The more intact strengthening storm lengthens the duration of extreme impacts. You often see what looks like half of a hurricane on radar when they’re making landfall.

Is Laura further south than its supposed to be? Looks like it could skirt south of Hispaniola

I was wondering how that would affect Laura as well the further south it goes into that region.
