Hurricane Ian started as a Category 3 storm and soon gained frequency to turn into a Category 4 hurricane with winds raging at 150mph, causing massive damage in Florida. The hurricane gained its strength after crossing the Gulf of Mexico and entered Florida with a speed of 130mph, turning into a Category 4 storm. Recently,…
Visualising the intensity and progression of hurricanes on digital platforms has seen an impressive upgrade. A diligent researcher has created a set of distinctive icons that represent the categories of the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. They are hosted on a GitHub repository called hurricane-net and can be found here. These icons, interestingly, are not just…
Madagascans are facing the wrath of Cheneso, which severely impacted the country and left dozens homeless and stranded in floodwaters and under collapsed bridges. Starting on the 18th of January 2023, it continued till the 29th of January when the world was looking forward to a better year; the Madagascans found themselves in a tumultuous…
Prompt Used: A satellite image of the Atlantic Hurricane Caption: A Satellite Image Of Hurricane Generated Via DALL-E The 2022 hurricane season was cataclysmic and one of the most potent events to be ever recorded. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded a total of 14 storms, out of which 8 turned into…
“The No. 1 killer in all of these storms is water” Deanne Criswell, Federal Emergency Management Agency’s administrator The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season was devastating, with peak winds of 145 knots (166.86 mph), based on NOAA’s HURDAT2 data. The analysis utilizes the Saffir-Simpson scale to categorize storms, with Category 5 hurricanes like Lee representing the…
We are excited to present our interactive global storm tracking map, available at https://fluids.ai/map/. This platform is built to provide real-time tracking of global storms, including Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm that recently made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Florida’s west coast. Using advanced satellite imagery and data feeds, users can monitor…
Impact of Hurricane Ian on Florida Hurricane Ian was a Category 4 Atlantic hurricane that uprooted Florida from the core with winds raging up to 150mph. This catastrophic hurricane hit Florida economically by US$28-63 billion. From electricity outages that lasted for countless hours to 126 fatalities in Florida, the aftermath of Ian is becoming more…
Waterlogging and floods are menacing nuisances in California that continue to persist. Although atmospheric rivers may appear like something out of a travelogue, they can actually do a lot of harm. Long waves that travel in the skies like rivers do on the ground arise when water dissipates into the atmosphere and is carried by…
Source Idalia, a Category 3 hurricane, made landfall with a relentless fury, submerging homes, transforming streets into rivers, and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. As the Southeastern coastal states grappled with its aftermath, the unique path and sheer power of Hurricane Idalia challenged preconceived notions. They underscored the need for continued research…
