One last โblowoutโ storm for 2021 hurricane season?
If history is a guide, the development date (the day on which a storm is named) for the final tropical cyclone) will be Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021. Historically, this storm will most likely develop in the Central or Eastern Atlantic Ocean. It most likely will be the leftover of a non-tropical cyclone that sat over the super warm water of the Atlantic Ocean for too long and transitioned from a non-tropical cyclone to a tropical cyclone.

Powerful derecho leaves path of devastation across Midwest
I donโt think anybody expected widespread winds approaching 100, 110 mph,โ Marsh said. He compared it to a devastating Super Derecho of 2009, which was one of the strongest on record and traveled more than 1,000 miles in 24 hours, causing $500 million in damage, widespread power outages and killing a handful of people. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had โboth significant and widespread damage throughout the city,โ said public safety spokesman Greg Buelow. Omaha Public Power District reported more than 55,500 customers without power in Omaha and surrounding communities. Marsh said thereโs concern about widespread power outages across several states.
