As of today, Ian was announced to be a category 5 with wind speeds of 160 mph (260 kmph).

Hurricane Ian has now been upgraded to a Category 5 hurricane.

The 2022 Atlantic Hurricane season was the most extraordinary and unusual in terms of events that occurred: 1. first time since 2014 no pre-season storms . 2. for the first time since 1997 there were no storms in August . 3. the first time since 1996, there were 2 storms that crossed the Atlantic into the Pacific Ocean. Bonnie and Julia, both retaining the TS statute which is the first such case in the history of observations! 4. Two storms repeated the path and intensity of previous Hurricanes: Fiona repeated the path and intensity of Hortense (1996), Ian repeated the path and intensity of Charley (2004). 5. For the first time since 2015, the activity was not above average, which is unusual because this was during La Niña which is the first such case in the history of observations! 6. For the first time since 2007, the ACE index has not been above or below normal .

Hurricane ian was just reanalyzed to a category 5 today with winds up to 160 mph and pressure of 937mb. Crazy to think this got reanalyzed to a category 5 now

THIS IS SO AMAZING, the intro isn't too stretched out, the analysis isn't too bad (I don't know about Julia tho) and I love the animation and the music. Good job!

I love the sound when major hurricanes made landfall those sounds are great to show that a storm was destructive.

I really enjoy these videos, they are something I watch when I'm bored and I can't look away really. Keep up the good work :)

This animation is AMAZING!!!!!!! Good job Force 13 with making it. This definitely is one of the best you guys have made ever!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

Fiona was also likely one of the fastest stroms in the basin considering its approach to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland

The fact we had a near normal season with the MDR being as hostile as it was is truly astonishing

Hurricane Ian was the most destructive hurricane in 2022. RIP Florida.

The 2022 Hurricane Season is the prime example that you don't need an active season for it to be a bad one. It's also probably the best example of what an average count of storms looks like. In terms of formation, however, this season was all over the place. 0 named storms in August, 3 hurricanes within November (Lisa technically formed on October 31, but became a hurricane in November), and finally, FINALLY, ending the now 7 year streak of pre-season storms. It certainly looks like an average season, but it has such an interesting story to tell.

This was an absolute insane hurricane season, I was on the U.S.S New Jersey battleship when the remnants of Hurricane Ian hit Philadelphia.

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season wasn't the most active season, but it's a reminder that you don't need a very active season like 2005 and 20 to get a lot of storms. The storm names I think will be retired are Fiona, Ian, and Probably Julia.

Absolutely amazing animation. I’m not sure if anyone will agree with me on this - but with the “extra” bits (E.g. Fiona and Ian’s clips from the live stream and The National Hurricane Centre), I think these would be best to be left to a “part 2” of the animation, or be added in during an advanced version in the future. They’re great, it’s just, I feel like it possibly interrupts the animation… idk, but… amazing, keep up the good work :)))

Amazing !!👏 We all hope the season typhoon 2022 coming soon

Here it is, another christmas gift like the 2020 animation

What an incredible season animation. An memorable season, even if I was directly impacted this year.

Great Animation! : )

thank you force thirteen... i cant wait for it

2022 definitely one of the most plot twisting years I’ve ever seen

List 2 Curse ... broken!? HALLELUJAH! Ian: "NOPE!" This was one of the strangest hurricane seasons I've ever seen. Since 1995, I can't really recall one that was quite this odd.

Good job on the animation. 👍

3:25 this is all ive been waiting for

What an incredible season! Quiet, yet destructive season! I really do think Ian was a C5 But, that's my opinion. But I enjoyed this season so much! Thank you Force Thirteen For this incredible animation that all of you made. Keep up the astonishing work! Super big fan! And merry chrístmas! :)

Ian is now Idris Fiona is now Farrah

Amazing Animation

hey love the Animation you guys did a very very good job and god bless the animator this Animation must have been a pan in the ass keep up the awsome work :)

Crazy how much effort is put into these videos

2022 atlantic hurricane season: 91 ACE 2023 cyclone freddy: 87 ACE xd

Beatiful!

OMG WHY DID I MISS IT!!!!!!!!

Really liked this. But man, hurricane ian really got me effed up bro

Hello everyone! It’s me, the guy who for some reason decided to write paragraphs on KZfaq comments about whether or not a spinny clouds wind analysis by a bunch of amateur meteorologists is good or not! (seriously though, it sounds so dumb in that context lol) But I should probably get to why im here. The analysis changes! So let me just say before I begin my rambling that ami killed it with this animation. It’s informational, but doesn’t take too long in doing it. Plus it’s high quality! I enjoyed it not just because of the animation, but I basically agree with the analysis changes! It’s not too crazy, as any upgrades (and downgrades) are justified! So! Now to the rating board! AGREE: Fiona upgrades: I know I already discussed my opinion on this on the track animation, so I’ll keep it quick. Fiona’s satellite appearance plus some of the more complex data shows that the preliminary estimate of 130mph may have been a slight underestimate. While I do think the NHC will stay with 130, I personally fully agree with 140 and stand by that. C4 IAN: THANK YOU KAISER!!! I heard you were a part of the downgrade back to the official intensity, and that makes me very happy. I was afraid that the biggest source of animations would actually put this out there, but they didn’t and I am very happy! Ian’s SFMR readings were debunked a while ago as overestimated, similar to the situations around Iota and Matthew. Plus Ian’s satellite appearance imo does not look like a category 5, so there’s that to add up to this very “controversial” case. TD 98L: This was a decision I made recently, and I can say that I can see it! The invest may be upgraded by the NHC, though again I am not a part of the NHC. I don’t know what they see! MEH: C2 Julia: *sigh*, this is the only change I am somewhat against. I’m not as against it as I was a few days ago since I’ve looked at some of the readings that support this claim, and I still am not fully on board. This stays in the meh category until I finish my analysis (a couple months down the line) but I may flip this into the agree column as well DISAGREE: None! I think F13 did a good job on this seasons analysis! I hope that they can keep this up once the NIO and WPAC seasons come around, as I will be grading those too (though the NIO doesn’t have much) so I will be back! See you when the WPAC animation comes out F13 community!

this is actually pretty good, cant wait for the what might have been

I was celebrating Christmas so i missed it but nice animation

FINALLY someone else made Ian do 2 landfalls in florida

Your animations have come a really long way and I love a lot of the changes you've done with the videos, however is it possible in the future to allow animations and animations with commentary to be separate? Some people like just the animation and the commentary while good is interrupting.

Merry Christmas

I love how “ALEX” is in all capitals but the rest of the names aren’t

Waiting for the 2022 Pacific typhoon season animation.

Quien más desde costa rica 🇨🇷♥️

Wow, a Christmas animation!

5:29 the moment of impact

2022 gave us: The 8th year in a row to feature a 155mph+ Storm The 7th year in a row to feature a 150mph+ landfall somewhere in the Basin The 3rd year in a row to feature a 150mph landfall on the CONUS. The most memorable storms were Ian for the destruction it brought to Cuba and Florida and Fiona for the heavy flooding rains it gave to Dominican Republic and Puerto-Rico and for being the most intense storm to strike Canada. The most beautiful? Probably Martin after it turned post-tropical.

Now this is the most viewed vid on this channel. That’s how good it is.

OMGGG I CANT WAIT

Quality is great… Can’t wait to see 2023 AHS

Unrelated but Merry Christmas!

Are you going to do a Pacific typhoon season for 2022?

nice

Oh mah gah I missed this.

In the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season, Trinidad and Tobago were affected by 3 Tropical Disturbances, Invest 91L (which became Hurricane Julia) brought the worst impacts after it dumped over 2 inches of rain in under 30 minutes in some spots of northern Trinidad.

Yeah this year’s Hurricane Season is Crazy & Wild because Hurricane Ian’s Wind Speed this year is worse then Charley in 2004 that hit Punta Gorda & Sarasota that year which was also a Category 4. But now Ian Made Landfall between Cape Coral/Fort Myers, & Punta Gorda too including Port Charlotte.

This season was really destructive and historic. It's honestly kinda sad how people, especially meteorlogists in the US, are only concerned about their state and Puerto Rico. Everyone's talking about Ian. Fiona, Julia, Nicole and Hermine also caused problems in other countries. Fiona was the strongest and costliest storm to hit Canada, Julia becoming a deadly Central American hurricane, and Hermine was bad for Western Africa too. Even Nicole which hit Florida as well is sometimes overshadowed. It doesn't necessarily only take one storm to make a season destructive. Still was an really interesting season to track tho.

Muito bom mesmo

What Might Have Been: Danielle = Bonnie. Paula = Fiona. Shary = Ian (with a landfall in Saint Pete Beach). Walter = Julia. Deshawn = Lisa. Gemma = Nicole. Retirements: Danielle - Daphne. Paula - Portia. Shary - Sheila. Walter - Warren. Deshawn - Diego. Gemma - Gia.

Wating for 2022 Pacific Typhoon Season Animation

Despite the dead activity in July and August, September and November were pretty flabbergasting. Shows that there's more to a season than how active it is

What I think of this year's hurricane season? At first I was Very confident that we will get a very busy season but ofc like every other people that predict it it didn't come true and At may it really made me think that Alex would form on may but no it's June and broke the streak of pre- seasons storms from 2015-2021 and I just wanna put some opinions on A handful of storms that I just want to say First of I wanna start With PTC 4: in my opinion while it was in the gulf of Mexico Before Collapsing somehow, it really looked like a tropical storm At one point and they should have named it Danielle but I guess it was too late and it just decided to just collapse all of that convection that it had before naming it .. but that's just my opinion. Second is ian: I don't want to put a very big evidence of the intensity of ian because it's just gonna Lead to an argument again and it would just Be so Nerdy of me to put my own evidence here so here's just percentages of my opinion of ian... 100% cat 1, 100% cat 2, 100% cat 3, 100% cat 4, 20% cat 5 Next is Julia Julia: at first I thought it would really form before entering the Caribbean but ofc just like Bonnie it took forever. And I just wanna say, Julia's intensity of it being a cat 2 is the only one I disagree because it didn't have enough time at that point to be a cat 2 and maybe it was cat 2 because of an evidence that I forgot... For me it is a high end cat 1. Next that I want to talk about is about overall the impacts of this year.. but I'll edit it later

What is the song in this video it is such a bop

Hey when is Pacific Typhoon Season? Is it on progress?

🔥🔥🔥

Please do the rapid intensification music for the 2023 Atlantic and pacific Hurricane season!

2023 is already looking wild right now.

Hurricane ian category 5

national weather service and force thirteen be like 🌀⚔️⛈️

Hurricane Ian (2022) had it all In This Season Became The Strongest,Costliest,Deadliest And Landfalls. Ian Got An Absolute Achievement This Season. All of this Ian Got 1st Place...

Hurricane Ian has now bumped up to having over 113 billion dollars in damage so it’s now the 3rd costliest hurricane on record

Ian and Fiona got retired (tho not Nicole which was a billion dollar storm). Ian was third most destructive ($115B USD) and fifth strongest hurricane in U.S. history. Fiona was strongest Canadian storm in general with a record low pressure of 931.6 millibars. Fiona had a beautiful extratropical transition. Reminded me a lot of Sandy tbh.

2020: 14 named storms at September 1st 2022: *4 named storms at September 1st*

Dang ian made so many landfalls

I live In Orlando. Ian was bad there, but no where near as bad as it got in sanibel. Prayers out to the people who love there

Another Season In The Books, Here It Is 2022!

When will there be a pacific typhoon season?

Some suggestions for future animations Track of harvey v2 2009 west pacific v2 2021 worldwide 1979 Atlantic v2 2016 Atlantic v2 1985 east pacific v2 1997 west pacific v3 2011 west pacific 1780 Atlantic 1944 Atlantic 1975 west pacific 1996 west pacific 1961 west pacific 1991 west pacific v2 1970 North indian ocean 1993 East Pacific 2013 north indian ocean 1994 atlantic 1984 west pacific 1959 west pacific v2 1970 west pacific 1994 west pacific v2

I feel like 2020 v.2 Atlantic needs to be made.

I had no idea invest 98L existed as a tropical depression. It's nowhere to be found in the NHC website

When is the 2022 WMOB and when is 2023 hypo

Please post hypothetical cyclone season of North Indian Ocean 2023 prediction

2:13 Ah yes, Tropical Depression *98L*

What about Martin? It wasn’t on the thing?

puedes hacer un video terminando el año 2024 de la temporada de huracanes 2024 plis😊😊

Hurricane Ian got cat 5…

Finally! The animation we’ve all been waiting for! Although this could’ve premiered in 2023.

I have just created this animation…It will premier a few hours before this one…

just wait till 2023 when we get the tier 3 names

5:29 Ah yes, Hurricane Ian. There was trees falling and stuff all over the place. No power for about a fat week and no internet for a week and a half.

Hurricane Ian actually is the 3rd costliest hurricane ever and damages are actually $113B

I am surprised the name Bonnie hasnt been retired since in 1998 Hurricane Bonnie made a high end Cat 3 bordering on Cat 4 landfall in the Carolinas before weakening and then reintensifying back to a Cat 3 and smashed Virginia. I think its overshadowed by Georges and the infamous Mitch.

I think my eyes died

I like the first music that pops up I wanna know the name

Next is What might have been in 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season I think it’s inactive and I don’t know what happened to the ocean?

Bonnie went to get the milk

Wow

Great year for Geico

Lol imagine getting hit by a cat 5 I definitely didnt drive to pine island 😅

Ian really overshadowed the damage of Fiona. I think the storm is one that should be remembered

The active season streak has come to a close.

When 2022 Pacific Typhoon Season Animation?
