I'm interested in sea level rise and warmer oceans as direct catalysts for more powerful storms with larger impacts occurring more frequently. It seems like our models for predicting major hurricane events may be flawed.
In Harvey's case there was an intensification in the last day or so before landfall that caught many experts by surprise. It also came back out to sea and was able to reenergize stronger and faster in the warmer waters. These are troubling details that make me question our grasp on predicting the occurrence and strength of these types of storms.
