2025 Hurricane Season

This is interesting - this is the forecast for Tuesday morning. The two storms are going to be very close to each other! Makes sense they would start to interact and pull each other.

By Thursday, it’s looking like Imelda / Nine will start following Humberto out to sea. :crossed_fingers:

2pm advisory:

Imelda should be a Tropical Storm soon and will be one over the Bahamas - it will only become a hurricane as it approaches the SC coast, but it should turn away before reaching it. :crossed_fingers:

I’m not at my desktop so it’s tricky to post the update images, but Humberto hit Cat 5 and Nine / Imelda looks more and more likely to head straight out to sea - and a little more quickly than previously anticipated. :crossed_fingers:

I was joking about the hard right turn!

Nine has officially become Tropical Storm Imelda.

The full update:



Between now and Wednesday these two will be about as strong and close as they’ll get and then Humberto will high tail off into the Atlantic.

Sorry!!!

I’m not going to make any more predictions because even if I could somehow make it turn away from you that would probably backfire on someone else. :winking_face_with_tongue::rofl:

So we’re to the point now where Imelda is heading straight out to sea. It should impact Bermuda (hopefully obliquely :crossed_fingers:) Wednesday night.

I don’t know why NHS doesn’t just label the mph or category instead of making you cross reference with the key. :roll_eyes: :winking_face_with_tongue: Here’s another source:

Meanwhile, Humberto’s track is now completely removed from Bermuda. Which is good, cause he’s much more powerful.

I’m so so sorry.
What do you even do to prepare? It’s not like you can drive inland.

I don’t have a snarkimal - but I was joking, really.

It’s a colossal pain and sometimes expensive but rarely the concern it can be in a lot of other places. The worst part is losing power for days when it’s still 85+ degrees out with 85+% humidity. Sometimes we don’t lose it at all, sometimes it’s ages to get back.

Prep is mostly just emptying the fridge & freezer as much as I can, and cooking as much as possible beforehand. Fill a tub, charge every backup battery, tie down the bbq and outside stuff and close the storm shutters.

Oh. “Just” all that.
I wish I could help you.
:folded_hands:t3: you don’t lose power.

Living inland and not having much experience with hurricanes (the worst we’ve gotten was with Ike, when he became just a long, sustained windstorm in 2008; otherwise, we typically just get a lot of rain), why is it less of a concern for Bermuda? Smaller target? Already have hurricane-grade buildings? Something else?

This. We get hit a lot, but for the most part the island is built for it.

The good news I suppose is that Imelda is not forecast to be a “major” hurricane.


Humberto is going to fizzle out pretty quickly from here.

Crazy to see two storms so close together like this.

They are doing the waltz.

Really hope @4ljs is staying safe!

Humberto is now a post-tropical storm with 70mph maximum sustained winds.
