Hurricane Milton Is Reshaping Storm Science

Long after the winds subside and the hard work of rebuilding begins, scientists responsible for predicting hurricanes will continue to replay #Hurricane #Milton over and over again. They’ll focus on how they failed to predict Milton’s sudden strengthening.

Milton became one of most the powerful hurricanes on record in the #Atlantic basin after its winds accelerated by 95 miles per hour (150 kilometers per hour) on Monday, a faster jump than any #storm on record other than Hurricane Wilma in 2005. That mark is nearly three times the standard definition of what scientists call “rapid intensification.” It led the normally staid #US National Hurricane Center (NHC) to call Milton’s intensification “explosive.”
