Welcome to my page!
Hello, I am Steven. You might know me from the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki, which I have been editing since October 2012 and made lots of cool seasons on there. On July 19, 2013, after a 9-month wait, I've registered an account on this wiki!

About Me
My name is Steven Devore. I was born on August 20, 1999 and I am 14 years old. I live in Surf City USA! If you don't know what Surf City USA is, then look it up on Google. I have mood winds, so bear with me as I can be harsh, lazy, and annoying at times. Hurricanes never come to my area, maybe because the waters off the coast are too cold. But we sometimes get the remnants of Pacific hurricanes. I came to this wiki (and the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki) because I think hurricanes are interesting and I like to track them. The best type of hurricane are the ones that reach major hurricane intensity but stay out to sea. But if a Cat. 5 hurricane bears down on a Gulf Coast city, I'll be a little scared for the victims and pray for them to stay safe. I hope none of those happen this season or next season.

Here are some facts about me

How I became interested in hurricanes
It all started in 2005 when I heard about Katrina, Rita, and Wilma on the news. I think I heard the news on a TV news station. It was so scary looking at all of the hurricanes' devastation, especially Katrina's! Katrina completely devastated New Orleans. In 2006 and 2007 I didn't hear about any hurricanes, but in 2008 I remember watching the news on Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Again, these hurricanes caused lots of devastation in the U.S. In 2009 I think I remember hearing about Typhoon Morakot, and in May 2010 I think I remember seeing Agatha's sinkhole.

My real interest started in September 2010, when I was looking up natural disasters and hurricanes on Wikipedia. I then found the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season page and saw an active Igor, Julia, and Karl. Shortly afterwards I found the NHC site, and that's when I started to track hurricanes. At that time, I was not just tracking Atlantic hurricanes, but also Pacific hurricanes, typhoons, and North Indian Ocean cyclones. During the winter of 2010-2011 I tracked a few southern hemisphere cyclones as well. I also remember the WEIRD central Pacific storm in December (Omeka).

I continued to track these storms in 2011, remembering the 8 back-to-back tropical storms, the destructive Irene, and all the other storms in the Atlantic. In the Pacific, I remember that Category 4 November hurricane (Kenneth) and all the other storms. In 2012 I continued to track hurricanes, and I tracked the destructive Isaac and the very devastating Sandy. Sandy was the most devastating hurricane I ever tracked, completely devastating the eastern seaboard and growing to a huge size. Sandy caused massive devastation to the east coast!

Also, in September 2012, I discovered the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki. I made an account on that wiki in October, and in the same month I made a crazy 2100 Atlantic hurricane season. Since then I have made lots of other seasons, with the latest one being the 1000 BC Atlantic hurricane season. I also discovered the Hurricanes Wiki in October 2012, but didn't join this wiki until July 19, 2013.

I have tracked all the storms that have formed in 2013 so far, and will continue to track them. So far, I have tracked most of the southern hemisphere storms, and the large majority of the storms that formed in the Atlantic, East Pacific, Central Pacific, West Pacific, and the North Indian Ocean. The Atlantic has been very boring this year, and there will probably be no Katrinas or Sandys, and I don't want them to happen!
