Despite boiling oceans and epic heat waves, Francine only attained Cat 1 status and never had a chance of attaining the anticipated major hurricane status. Why? The Tonga volcano prevented the hurricane helper, called La Nina, from developing, and it made the tropical atmosphere more stable - thus inhibiting tropical activity.

Think some regular posters on here might be disappointed.

Same old thread. Different title. I wonder how many posts the same five people will make in this one.

I'm never disappointed when things are better than expected.

Fox 55 is insufficient for you? Somehow the data presented conflict with your fixed certainty?

Hurricane Francine made landfall off the Louisiana coast as a Category 2 storm on Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said.

The storm came ashore in Terrebonne Parish, around 30 miles south-southwest of Morgan City, with maximum sustained winds of around 100 mph.

"Heavy rains and hurricane-force winds are spreading inland across southern Louisiana," meteorologists wrote in the latest advisory. "Now is the time to stay inside and away from windows."

Forecasters have warned of "life-threatening storm surge and hurricane-force winds" from Francine, which strengthened into a hurricane on Tuesday night.

I asked for "data" not media reports. During court cases, I never used "the news" as a data source.

"Maximum sustained winds of AROUND 100 ..." is not data. What piece of "data" says so?

Same thing was reported by both Lester Holt and Norah O’Donnell. Winds were measured at a consistent 100 mph, which makes it a Cat 2 storm.

This is TOTV, not a court case. A "NEWS" report was sited.
We are not your minions to provide you with data or, bring you your slippers, just because our information differs from yours. If we can find it, I'm assuming you can too.
Sheesh! 🫤🤨

Hear-say is not evidence. If they were measured, then they were recorded. Where's the evidence of that measured report?
