Hurricanes could push deeper into U.S. in coming decades
NBC News / Comcast ^ | February 27, 2023 | By Denise Chow (D-NBC)

Stronger storms fueled by climate change will penetrate deeper into the United States and threaten parts of the country unaccustomed to high-speed winds, according to a new analysis of the country's vulnerability to tropical cyclones.

The report on worsening winds and their projected financial impacts was released Monday by First Street Foundation, a nonprofit research group based in Brooklyn, New York.

Researchers found that more intense storms brought on by climate change would expose millions more properties to wind damage in the next 30 years, particularly as tropical cyclone winds penetrate farther inland and as storms migrate poleward up the East Coast.

Scientists have said that while climate change is not expected to boost the number of hurricanes that strike each year, it will intensify the storms that do form.

The report used historic observations of hurricane formation, strength and landfall rates, and incorporated how these factors are affected by changes to sea surface temperatures, sea levels and atmospheric temperatures in a warming climate. The group's peer-reviewed model included 50,000 synthetic storm tracks that were used to gauge how wind direction and speeds would be altered in various future climate scenarios.

The new wind model adds to First Street's collection of risk assessments, which include risks of flood, fire and heat to properties in the contiguous United States.

Except that hurricanes have been fewer and milder by far.

The article acknowledges they’ve given up on the claim it would create any additional hurricanes.

After Katrina...they predicted all storms would be Cat 5...instead...like you said...things got milder. As long as they can guess...they can get Grant Money.

Gore has been living off Climate Change since 1986....when he started this BS.

Not sure, but whatever the number of "scientists", we can state for certain it was 97% of them.

And with Jo Jo the Pedo Clown’s massive influx of freeloading illegal alien invaders, it’s going to make it harder for them to miss densely populated areas. Way to go, Jo!

The Weather Channel started naming systems crossing the US from the west several years ago. Climate changers must have a lot of time on their hands.
