It’s how badly they’ve flooded. We may mot ge getting extra storms from climate change, but it certainly can make the existing storms worse.
IMO that’s what we’re seeing more of. From straight line winds being more damaging, to storm systems that might only have a couple tornados to now having a dozen.
That’s kinda the same thing tho. The entire scale gets moved up, because there is more energy available in the atmosphere and water to form and power storms. So when all the storms get more powerful, you get more hurricanes, because in the past those would not have grown big enough to be classified as such. Small local storms can more easily grow to become larger, having a bigger impact.
And wind patterns can change as well, so it’s very complex and hard to predict. The one thing we know for sure: it’s bad news.
Yup, also south Georgia historically gets missed by most hurricanes. Now that area has been hit by two in a matter of weeks. These are not coastal areas but 100+miles from the coast.
It isn’t so much that the mountains flooded.
They’ve flooded before.

But also we are getting extra storms? The average number of storms per season is up

Yeah, everyone I was talking to about it was very confused why I was worried about a hurricane at my location.
