Now Ian was actually a category 5. Their original analysis for this was right on the intensity of Ian

I’m glad the in-depth intensity effects of tropical cyclones (like the C4 getting more purple as it gets closer to C5) are now being included in these tropical cyclone animations. I was always confused as to why they were always in the season animations yet not the individual storm animations.

Absolutely splendid animation! Ian will be remebered as one of Florida's worst hurricanes in history. The storm killed over 100 people and caused devestation from Cuba up to the Carolinas. It doesnt matter if Ian was a category 5 or a category 4, it will go down as a storm that destroyed some areas of Florida leaving many areas completely devestated, hoping all in Florida a quick recovery.

This storm will be remembered for years to come. I have a family member down in Fort Myers, she said Ian was the worst storm she’s ever been through. She luckily escaped with little damage, though without power for more than a week. The beach I stayed at back in April this year is gone. Nothing is left. It was legit heartbreaking to watch. Fort Myers and Sanibel will stand strong.

I remember when some people were saying this year was gonna be a 2013 repeat because of the inactivity and some people were letting their guards down because of the no storm August, but with Fiona and Ian it's no longer a quiet season and unfortunately now deadly and destructive, Ian definitely proved that it ONLY TAKES ONE to change everything.

This age like fine wine.

Hurricane Ian is now a C5 in NHC post-analysis, Force thirteen was on point with this storm maybe better than NHC was!

Keep in mind everyone that F13 has their own analysis of intensity usually done by Nathan. So it will differ from NHC’s official operational reports and may differ from Ian’s post-season analysis intensity too.

Update: The NHC report for Ian is out and they have upgraded it to a 140kt Category 5 with a pressure of 937mb.

This season is just... With unusually low pressures from storms like Earl 105/954 mb(Normally mid-range cat 3 mb) and Fiona 130/932 mb(Normally a High-end cat 4 pressure).

The damage reminded me of Michael, but magnitudes worse.

Hurricane Ian stats: Highest Winds: 155 mph (250 km/h) Lowest Pressure: 936 mBar Fatalities: At least 137 Damage: Unkown Affected Areas: Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Colombia, ABC islands, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Southeast United States (especially Florida and The Carolinas)

Force 13 was right with calling Ian a Cat 5

L: Low D: Tropical Depression S: Tropical Storm 1: Category 1 2: Category 2 3: Category 3 4: Category 4 5: Category 5 EX: Extratropical Storm

The tree in the back of our mobile home felled and it hit our parents room Thank God our mom changed her mind and said that we will stay in our grandmas house because if they were sleeping in their they could of got really hurt. After the hurricane we've check our town and saw lots of homes and some stores got badly damaged 😦

The remnants of Ian sat from Virginia to New York for several days afterward. I live in Virginia and it rained for at least a few hours every day for maybe 4 days after the Friday it hit. Didn’t see the sun for nearly a week

Under our analysis, Ian was a category 5. We got cancelled for it on twitter. No matter what the wind speeds are it was still a devastating storm.

I was hit by Ian, but fortunately we didn’t have much damage compared to others. It would’ve been worse if the surge had came up further, which was only 1 feet away from our house.

Wind Speed: 160 MPH (260 km/h) Deaths: 161 total. Missing: 13. Areas affected: Cuba, United States, Florida (particularly Southwest Florida), Cayman Islands, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Trinidad and Tobago, Cayman Islands, ABC Islands. Retired: Yes. Replacement name: Idris (pronounced ID-riss or E-driss).

Just moved to Florida for college and this beast was my first hurricane experience. Luckily it had weakened significantly by the time it had reached me.

Just keep in mind… it could have been a lot worse if the track had shifted slightly North into the Tampa Bay Area.

It bothers me that at least half the comments here are either comments about people's personal analysis or comments of how the text is purple, possibly indicating a c5 by f13 analysis (and some people are even excited about it!?) If you saw my animation on scratch, you'll know what I have to say - the impacts of hurricane Ian are very real. Thousands of people lost everything. Some even lost loved ones. I personally know people who have had their lives impacted by this storm. Some areas of Florida will be uninhabitable for months, if not years. Focus on the impact. Not if the storm had winds of 150, 155, or 160 mph. Because that honestly doesn't matter. At least, it doesn't matter to the people who were actually impacted. In a few months time, sure we can debate about whether Ian was a cat 4 or a cat 5, but now? NOW? To debate over whether the wind speed was 5 mph higher is inappropriate and it is insensitive to the people who were hit so hard by this storm. That's all I have to say. I am one person, and I won't be able to fix this problem. But I ask that you stop focusing so much about the exact category of the storm, and focus more on the impacts.

Judging with that font color its now a Cat 5 landfall/peak. If landfall now its the first Cat 5 to make landfall in the mainland USA since Micheal

Another question about Ian that interests me is how much lightning it managed to produce over its lifetime? I'm not sure how I can answer that. Maybe it's my selective memory but right now I cannot think of too many storms that were as convectively active as Ian was. At multiple points its eye bore witness to some exceptionally violent bursts of lightning.

I think so, because of Ian and fiona, 2022 can also become 9th or 10th costliest season, being average or below average...

Noru: $110 million damages Ian: $112 *billion* damages

My first hurricane, it was kinda a weird feeling. Everyone in school was freaking out & everything

I live in New Jersey. Ian’s remnants hit us. 40 mph winds blasted through my hometown. We got a flood warning on October 1st. I live next to a lake and it overflowed. My tree fell apart twice. Hurricane Ivan (2004) and Hurricane ian (2022). Good luck to Florida.

While it doesn’t matter if the storm was cat 4 or 5, this will be one of the worst hurricanes in Florida and USA history. Edit: I do agree with the f13 analysis about the winds and wind field (animation in general)

It’s true that it could be a category 5 for a moment because it peaked wind speeds of 157mph.

Really good animation guys! This was probably the worst hurricane that hit Florida in this century.

Definitely the right choice of peak intensification. As some may have seen my comment a few videos ago, recon found evidence for category 5 status. Category 5 status is definitely deserved for Ian.

The cat 5 peak is crazy

Awesome animation force thirteen!!!! I got hit by hurricane ian. I live near Orlando but we never lost power and didn’t get much flooding too which is good! But we did had some fallen branches. This hurricane was pretty crazy for all it did and it will definitely get retired after this season. I’m praying that you all have a speedy recovery from after Ian!

The ‘2022 cyclone tracks’ in the beginning shouldve been replaced with ‘Historic cyclone tracks’ but nice

CLARIFICATION! Ian was either a category 4 or 5, it is currently in debate. Force 13's reanalysis says 160mph at its peak while the National Hurricane Center believes Ian peaked at 155 mph.

In the middle of the eye I rode my bike in the storm surge and people were swimming in it and the water was over one foot. The reason why Ian turned into extra tropical is because it was cold when it hit.

The part of Ian that hit Tampa was pulling water out from the shore and pushing it into Sanabelle

DID I JUST SEE THE TEXT AS PINK??!!

I live in west palm beach, 2 weeks after Nicole at this moment, nicole really finished the west coast off, and woulda impacted me if it didn't turn north

This is called Hurricane Matthew was similar to Hurricane Ian and since Hurricane Matthew was a 165 mph Cat 5 even though recon only supported 155mph, Hurricane Ian should be one too.

I want to see track of typhoon hinnamnor,muifa,merbok,nanmadol,talas,noru,and roke

Curious, why is it you're calling Ian a Category 5 when it was officially a Category 4? I also believe its actual wind speed was likely higher than 155mph at landfall (similar to Michael in 2018), though I haven't seen any source for this yet. Are you guys confident the intensity will be revised? Great video as always

A very historic storm for real

I’m sure they should just say it was a cat 5 at this point I think there was a point in the hurricane with consistent cat 5 winds that they missed

Devastating storm to remember

Hurriane ian was the worst hurriane for southwest Florida ever recover quickly and fast southcarolina and Florida and cuba

Ian could be category 5 with winds of 160 mph, while landfall intensity can be upgraded from 150 mph to 155 mph... Let's see what NHC says... But our analysis says it's category 5...

A standard 90% reduction of the 160kt Flight-Level winds blended with the 137kt SFMR data can yield a 140kt system. Dropsonde data also suggested 140kt winds extended down the vertical column, not to mention the radar velocities aloft too. Ian is a better Category 5 candidate than Laura or Ida.

Sadly this premiers when I’m at school. But I’ll watch it later when I come home.

It was a cat 4 with 155mph winds but.. I can say it is a cat 5

Iirc it's highest wind speed managed to reach 159mph but it wasn't a full one minute sustained so it wasn't marked as a category 5 I also don't understand why they're only emphasizing ft myers. Like bro englewood, Venice, North port and boca grande got slammed big-time too I was in its direct hit btw, prayers to all who were involved

This would be the first (OFFICIAL) Cat 5 since dorian 2019

i agree i think ian was category 5 briefly before landfall

LOL Someone salty said IAN WAS CAT 4!!! don't even understand, it's their F13 analysis. That hilarious 😂

I thought Ian was category 4 (And I cannot believe this was named after my brother of all things)

About my 3rd or 2nd hurricane experience, First was Emily, a random tropical from 2017, Next was Irma, hitting us at Category 4, Also from 2017, Now its Ian, the hurricane annihilated and blew over alot of trees in our backyard and in other places.

Hurricane Fionas Outflow, was producing windshear on TD Ian so i didnt managed to form for quite a long time. if the outflow wasnt there, Ian may have reached CAT 2 power at the location where it actualy became a Tropical Storm. earlier development would mean CAT 4 for cuba And 165+ mph landfall for florida. So go thank fiona lol, it could have been worse. my english :/

I’ve got a question, When does Post-Analysis happen?

Wait so it was a Cat 5?

Ian was strange to me I thought Ian would be hermine but I was wrong but Ian was really damaging it kinda reminded me of Katrina but florida

The Eastern coast of Florida had Andrew,while the Western coast had Ian

Hurricane Ian ALMOST MADE LANDFALL In Naples, Florida but it/he hit Fort Myers instead. I ALMOST DIED FROM THIS DANG HURRICANE AND MY HOUSE DIDN'T GET FLOODED OR DESTROYED, LUCKY ME. AND RIP OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES WHO GOT DESTROYED OR FLOODED.

...197 MPH wind speeds, CAT 5... Was in garage for 9 hours.

Wait at 3:50 Wasn’t 2019 the only year without a major hurricane landfall on U.S. Soil or smth?

ITS OFF OF THEIR ANALYSIS

I did not know Ian became a "5!"

Claim your “I wish people would shut up about being first” 👇

Bruh Evan though it was a cat 1 when it hit me we got the pushing side of it so it flooded most of my neighborhood.

It could be reclassified as a Cat 5 next year

You cant tell me Ian wasn’t a Cat 5 the structure of this storm was on a level with Irma and look what the wind did in a area that’s built for storms like these now 155 mph is possible at landfall however this thing was definitely a Cat 5

Ian is the reason I am going to make $250K in window and door sales this year..... however, I would forfeit amount to have SW Florida back to its original form

The sad that Ian was a rlly smart hurricane I one day it reach to cat 3 and then became a tropical storm and got back to cat 1

Literally, a storm that has done damage estimates up to $70BN (Another company said in excess of $100BN but that's just not possible)... Aint never had a storm that bad since Irma...

Who would win. Noru vs Ian.

Tampa dodged a bullet

Ian literally happened last week. I remember the time it made landfall as clear as day.

3:50 Did 2019 had a 150+mph landfall in United States?

Now only if you guys reported Ian as a category 5

I think Ian may have been 155-160 at landfall and maybe 165 at peak so basically another Matthew

Hurricane ian: 158mph

Wait it was a category 5?

wait, ian was a cat 5? Was this after the hurricane when people realized it as 160 MPH?

Ian came to my house last week, and wouldn't leave, he hung over my house about 8 hours, Flooded it, then left... and I thought Irma was a tough one to get through 🙏❤️✝️

So, it was actually a cat 5! Not suprised

Yall will see the animation and see Ian be a.... Yea that.

I like song

in my opinion it should be a 4 but if people wanna accept it as a 5 im ok with that

Was this a cat 5?

At 1:09, this is false, Hurricane Ian remained a Catetory 4, and only neared Category 5, according to the Saffir-Simpson scale, Category 5 hurricanes bring winds of 157+ MPH

The "3 Letter Curse" Eta Ida Rai Ian

Ian Is category4

So its a cat 5

.

This was the worst hurricane I’ve ever been through

L = idk D= depression S= tropical storm

This one is a historic storm for Florida, causing nearly $ 42 billion to $ 75 billion in damages...

It was a cat 5...... its Iota again

Ian's structure wasn't good enought to be c5
