Me!
Hi, my name is leeboy100, but you can call me Lee. I love tracking hurricanes. I first started paying attention to them in 2004 when Hurricane Ivan hit my town. then a year later I was hit by hurricane Dennis. Then I witnessed the amazing season of 2005! I was astonished with these storms especially: For the next few years I didn't really pay attention to these storms except 2008 with Ike, Gustav, and Fay (Fay because of her tour of Florida, and hitting my area, dumping some rain)
 * Dennis (hitting my area)
 * Irene (unlike the 2011 version this one looked beautiful and didn't hit land)
 * Katrina (of course, who can forget Katrina)
 * Ophelia (dancing along the coast)
 * Rita (Same as Katrina, and for being the strongest storm in the Gulf)
 * Vince (formation location) (yes I made it rhyme on purpose :D)
 * Wilma (882 MB enough said)
 * & Zeta (lasting until January 7, 2006!)

My love for tracking these storms started around 2009-2010 and I've been tracking them ever since. Tracking storms like Irene Sandy & Isaac, and in 2012 I joined this wiki.

Bye!!!!!!

Leeboy100 Beware Matthew's fury.

The normal red will be changed to maroon, and the text will say "Beware [Hurricane name]'s fury. [In use starting October 6th, 2016]

Leeboy100 Hope for Haiti. (October 11-25, 2016) The original post-Matthew variant has now been scrapped and replaced with this one, with the hope that Haiti will recover. It is still pink, as is tradition for October.

Favorite cyclones.
Just a list of some of my favorite cyclones.

Typhoon Tip (1979)
Reason: Most intense tropical cyclone on record

Hurricane/Typhoon Genevieve (2014)
Reason: Being a fighter. Became a tropical storm, nearly died, became a depression, nearly died again, became a depression again, nearly died again, became a depression yet again, nearly died yet again, then became a tropical depression again, then a storm, then a hurricane, then a major hurricane, crossed into the WPAC, and rapidly intensified until it became a Category 5. All this, while staying out to sea. Truly awesome storm indeed.

Hurricane Patricia (2015)
Reason: Even though it gave us quite a scare, and did hit land at extreme intensity, the raw power and intensity of this storm was just incredible. Had the highest confirmed winds of any tropical cyclone on record, and the NHC has said that it's very likely that the pressure of Patricia may have actually been lower than Tip for a short period of time.

Hurricane Wilma (2005)
Same reasons as Patricia. Except not as intense, and caused more damage (which I'm not a fan of.)

Hurricane/Typhoon John (1994)
Longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record, and became a Category 5. Caused very little damage throughout it's long 7,000+ mile journey across the Pacific. Existed in all three Pacific basins North of the Equator.

Hurricane Matthew (2016)
This one might be a little controversial, but Matthew is one of my favorite hurricanes. It became the first Atlantic Category 5 in 9 years, and it was fun to track. Not a fan of all the death and destruction it caused though.....

Just any Category 5 that stayed out to sea and caused little to no destruction.
Examples include Linda, Guillermo, Ginger, Joan, and Keith (all from 1997), Yuri from 1991, Gay from 1992, Lekima from 2013, Fengshen from 2002 (bonus points for it's fujiwhara interaction with Fung-Wong), Ioke and Yagi from 2006, Marie from 2014, as well as Genevieve (mentioned earlier) and all three Pacific Category 5 hurricanes in 1994, especially John, as I mentioned earlier. There are plenty more, but I don't want to take up too much space.

(List very likely to be expanded.......)

Memorable seasonal discussion quotes
Here's how this is going to work, I'm going to find some of the best (IMO) and most unbelievable quotes on the seasonal discussion (Atlantic only, I'll add more basins later) because I like looking back in hurricane wiki history. first I will start off with the infamous adage:

"Beware the first storm of September" Skyfury

And I'm doing it in order by year

Dean
unneeded heading change:
 * "I hate having to scroll up so far to reach the edit thing. Can we put in another "Hurricane Dean so we don't have to?
 * But seriously, it does get creepy when you have a storm that is almost universally expected to reach at least strong Category 4. 68-100-190-56 17:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Hurricane Dean, Continued
Just so we can reach the "edit" button easier. --Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin 17:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 68-100-190-56 17:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Major Hurricane Dean
Looks like we didn't need that after all. Just exploded to 125 MPH. This is hell. 68-100-190-56 18:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC) "

conflicting troubles:

"Stupid edit conflicts. I actually am surprised no-one called me on predicting Dean. BTW, GFDL predicts near record winds. IP 00:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I got edit conflicted too. Winds at 130 and pressure at 946 as of the 8pm advisory. Surprised it's not higher. Cyclone1 (00:07 UTC -18/08/2007)
 * I think they're covering it up. It's definitely a Category 4. IP 00:09, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I just got edit-conflicted twice...and I'm out of town tomorrow and Sunday. I hate it when I'm out of town with no Internet when there's a huge hurricane threatening everything. My internet decided to go down right before Katrina underwent its rapid intensification, then it decided to stay down after it hit, too. It was agonizing. Bob rulz 00:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Edit conflicted by you XD. Anyway, they made a mistake, it's 135. IP 00:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * (grr...conflicts) I'm very surprised. In fact, I don't believe it. Dean looks significantly stronger than that. Note the advisory used the term "at least". -- SkyFury 00:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm content with 135, but I personally think it's higher. I'm edit conlficted aren't I? IP 00:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Dean... Most threatening storm since almost two years. And it still has hundreds of miles of boiling Caribbean waters before it encounters any land. Hopefully he won't go anywhere near the Yucatan Channel. Cainer91 00:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I just got conflicted twice! Gah! Anyway, 135 is about right, Dean may be deepening considerably as we speak. If I edit conflicted any of you, I apologize. Cyclone1 (00:27 UTC -18/08/2007)

From what I see, this is the most major edit conflict of the year (I was here when Cyclone1 announced the "first edit conflict"). I'm getting this creepy feeling Dean is intensifying. IP 00:38, 18 August 2007 (UTC)"

Advice to Jamaicans during Dean from the one and only SkyFury:

"Announcement to all Jamaicans! Please, before the storm hits take measures to protect yourself: SkyFury 21:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)"
 * Have a survival kit and at least three days worth of parishable foods and drinking water.
 * Board up all windows and pile sandbags at doors.
 * Gather at the center of your home away from windows when the storm hits.
 * Prior to the storm, consult a priest and obtain an absolution.
 * Pray"

WTF model:
 * "By far, the most incredible model run thus far this year. Cyclone1 (22:25 UTC -21/08/2007)


 * Cat 1 to Cat 5 in 18 hours? Yes, I think that's an overestimate. Dean will probably not reintensify faster than Wilma. 69.86.16.159 22:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not even the weird part. It takes it into the Gulf of California as a category three. Cyclone1 (22:34 UTC -21/08/2007)


 * Sooo...we have a model that A) Takes Dean all the way back to Cat 5 before landfall, B) Takes it into the Gulf of California as a Cat 3, and C) Takes it all the way through the Gulf into a landfall on Sonora...what...the heck? Jake52 My island 22:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Yep, that's the idea. Cyclone1 (23:16 UTC -21/08/2007)"

Felix
A hurricane carol.:
 * Tis the season. -- SkyFury 00:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * ... To be wary. ; ) IP 00:15, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * ...Fa la la la la.... la la la laa. We could be song writers, guys. Cyclone1 (00:50 UTC -31/08/2007)

* brief chuckle* That was unnecessarily spontaneous. Bravo! IP 01:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)"
