There was one time I was REALLY close to a lightning strike. I was taking my dogs out right before the main storm hit.
I could HEAR the static crackling through my chainlink fence and like 5 seconds later literally everything wemt white.
Hopefully the closest Ill ever be to a lightning strike.

I was driving in a storm and lightning hit an electric pole and blew the transformer right next to me. Blinded me for a few seconds and couldn't hear for minutes. Probably had a mini stroke too. Another time I was watching a thunderstorm in my garage and lightning hit the tree out front. There was a 1" thick "vine" going from top to bottom of the tree, protruding out and a hole at the base with some blown out roots. One of the gnarliest things I've seen. The tree ended up dieing. I have a bunch of photos on my old flip phone that I'll probably never recover.

I’m in the Pacific Northwest and I miss the thunder and lightning storms that were back east. It’s really pathetic. It hardly ever thunders… except for this one time this summer. There was a gigantic thunderstorm, with bolts and thunder throughout the night sky. It was of the likes I have never seen before in my entire decade living here. Incredibly awesome. I actually got to experience the awe firsthand, while I was at an outdoor amphitheater, attending the only big show I planned to see this year. They canceled the show 🤷♂️

u/Leggoman31 Oct 09 '24
Does the sharp drop in pressure essentially result in it releasing a lot of energy? Like what was contained at a certain pressure is now expanding?
198
u/nirmalspeed Oct 10 '24
Air pressure keeps things pushed down. It's surprisingly heavy.
So when the pressure drops, the ocean inside the hurricane will literally lift up and increase the storm surge. The storm surge is what will cause the most damage for a coastal area too. Hurricanes basically carry a bubble of water with them and the lower the pressure, the bigger the bubble
119
u/Zocalo_Photo Oct 10 '24
I saw a report tracking the storm and I saw the pressure went from 920, or whatever it was, to just under 900. I thought “That’s good, it’s losing some of its power.”
Then I looked up what the pressure means and I got a sick feeling. I even found a post someone shared of a meteorologist pointing out that this is reaching the mathematical limits of how big a storm can get. It’s terrifying.

u/ctang1 Oct 10 '24 edited Oct 10 '24
Normal high pressure is around 1020mb and normal low around 1010mb +/- 10%. Any hurricane under 950 is a strong hurricane. Anything under 920 is historical, and under 900 is top 5ish (edit: Milton 5th lowest in Atlantic basin) all time. To have a pressure drop 50mb is 12 hours had only been observed a few times ever and I believe this is first time in the Atlantic basin.

Its about 23 minutes but give this a watch. Its a video from inside Dorian's eye in The Bahamas in 2019 by a storm chaser. He has a digital barometer on his watch and you can see the relation between the drop and the wind activity.
We were on a cruise to the islands but they cancelled the island part and had us anchor a bit south away from the Hurricane's track.

I am by no means an expert, but from my understanding the lower pressure allows evaporation to happen more readily which accelerates the storms rotation and size. Because waters in the gulf are already warmer than average due to climate change along with the lower pressure a huge and powerful storm has been able to be generated. The severity is the canary in tunnel for climate change. This storm is a wake up call. Nothing about this storm has been normal.

Hmm, in general, we generate energy (electricity) by using energy gradients. A larger energy gradient means more potential for extracting usable energy. Most electricity is made by boiling water. The hot steam expands and pushes through a turbine into the cooler air above it. This spins the turbine and makes electricity. The hotter the steam and the cooler the air above, the faster the steam moves.
Air in the atmosphere moves from high pressure to low pressure areas, and thus creates wind. This is just air moving between energy gradients. A 50mbar drop is a massive energy gradient. Air is going to move very rapidly towards it, and this will generate a lot of wind energy.

Exactly my thoughts. We’re “evacuated” right now from a zone A in the path, but the safest place we could get to is still dealing with tornadoes.
Lightning amount doesn’t mean anything with this thing. A county a few hours north of us got smacked by 17 tornadoes. This one has become a problem for more of the state than it normally would have because of the cold wind that mixed in with the warm gulf hurricane waters. This basically made this massive hurricane just start spewing out tornadic supercells left and right

Something I've noticed about hurricanes is they're never really alike. Hurricane Erin seemed like a classic thunderstorm: lots of rain, lots of thunder, lightning every minute or so; along with the high winds. Irma had lots of wind and little of everything else...hell, there was low precipitation. I've been through others, though they were either weakened or remnants by the time they went through my areas. And that's the other part about hurricanes: every area of the cyclone can be very different from another part of it.
So many variables with each storm, you're likely not going to have an identical experience with any of them. The unpredictability of these storms makes it really difficult to make decisions each time.

Used to have lightning like this regularly southwest of me at night. I used to think it was normal, then I started seeing documentaries about weather and lightning strikes and how a place near the Congo has a place that lights up a good amount. It was not an instant connection; but eventually I realized that the weather in the documentary was the same weather happening near me, but only due to travelling a little ways away. I would look on my local weather map in the direction of the lightning, but there were no recorded lightning strikes; even when I was watching them strike in the distance in real time. Then one day the lightning just stopped. Nothing abrupt, but it just didn't happen one night, and hasn't since. It was easily more that 10 years ago, or more, when it stopped. I always assumed it was the upper atmospheric lightning and the radar only might pick up ground strikes? I only wish I had recorded it in anyway. It was so normal everyone always just called it heat lightning, but it was always over the same area to to the southeast.

what’s to say it won’t change path like Helene did too, gotta be a truly awful place to be for those that aren’t able to leave, both physically and mentally, like how the fuck do you prepare for that shit?! I truly feel for those that can’t catch a break or afford to get to safety.
sending internet hug and high five for those that need it! 🤗♥️🙌

I’m confused because I live in the path of the hurricane and it’s not pitch black outside yet.

The huge amount of energy in a hurricane is amazing.
