"They're forming like roaches."

6 simultaneous storms. tied a record


While no individual storm can be directly tied to climate change, the trend in frequency and intensity is indicative of a warming climate.


Also note that in the 28 hours since DB posted, Imelda and Humberto are no longer tropical cyclones and the red splotch by the DR in the above picture is now TS Karen.


It's a funny comparison, as if roaches form from a swirling warm air mass over water.

Its hurricane season. This is what happens. 


When they form like Voltron - that’s when we should worry.

Although we are not at risk from Hurricane Lorenzo, my stomach cratered just reading about it. "It’s the most intense hurricane ever recorded so far east in the Atlantic."
