Hurricane Lee rapidly intensified into the first Category 5 storm of the Atlantic season late Thursday as it approached the northeast Caribbean.

Lee is not expected to make landfall but its powerful effects will be felt on some islands, including the Lesser Antilles which will see 10- to 15-foot waves Friday, according to forecasters.

The major storm barreled through open ocean about 705 miles east of the northern Leeward Island with winds of up to 160 miles per hour as it moved west-northwest.

The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has deployed teams to Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands in preparation for the hurricane, the White House said.

Massive, life-threatening waves are expected to slam the coasts of Puerto Rico, the US and British Virgin Islands, Hispaniola, the Bahamas and Bermuda this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.

“Lee continues to strengthen at an exceptional rate,” the center said.

Dangerous surf and rip currents will impact much of the East Coast of the US starting Sunday — and Lee will likely remain a major hurricane into the next week.

Lee is the 12th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season and the first to reach Category 5.

Massive, life-threatening waves are expected to slam the coasts of Puerto Rico, the US and British Virgin Islands, Hispaniola, the Bahamas and Bermuda this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Dangerous surf and rip currents will impact much of the East Coast of the US starting Sunday over a week after Hurricane Idalia barreled into the US, flooding many cities in Florida.

A ‘13^th’ storm was named Thursday evening when Tropical Storm Margot formed nearly 300 miles off of the Cabo Verde Islands. It is expected to increase in intensity — becoming a hurricane over the weekend and is not expected to make landfall.

A World First: Category 5 storms have formed in every ocean basin this year

Story by Ian Livingston, Jason Samenow Washingon Post September 8, 2023

For the first time on record, storms have reached top-tier Category 5 strength in every tropical ocean basin in the same year.

A combination of human-caused climate change and El Niño have heated ocean waters to record levels in 2023, setting the stage for this meteorological feat. The Copernicus Climate Service of the European Union confirmed that the global ocean reached its warmest level on record in August.

This week alone, two tropical cyclones leaped to Category 5 intensity in two days — Hurricane Jova in the northeastern Pacific on Wednesday, closely followed by Hurricane Lee in the Atlantic on Thursday. The pair of storms intensified with astonishing haste, their peak winds increasing 90 mph and 85 mph, respectively, in 24 hours.

Meteorologists monitor seven tropical oceans basins around the world for storm development. In addition to the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, Category 5 storms formed in the other five basins earlier this year.

Brian McNoldy, a tropical weather expert at the University of Miami, confirmed that 2023 marked the first instance of Category 5 storms in all seven and linked it to the warm waters.

“I think it’s reasonable to hypothesize that the abnormally warm ocean temperatures around the world made this more likely to happen,” McNoldy said in an email. “Gives everything a boost.”

Waters are warmer-than-normal almost everywhere, helping storms intensify quickly even in areas in which storm activity is often reduced during El Niño because of hostile high-altitude winds.

“In an El Niño year, the strong storms in the Pacific are not surprising, but the Atlantic would be the basin that’s highly unlikely to pull its weight and produce a 5,” said Alex DesRosiers, a tropical weather researcher at Colorado State University. “The record warm [sea surface temperatures] we are seeing in regions of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic are key in allowing for the active hurricane season we’ve had so far despite the usually prohibitive El Niño.”

Category 5 storms have maximum sustained winds of at least 157 mph and are considered the most dangerous on Earth. When they strike land, “catastrophic damage will occur,” the National Hurricane Center writes. Homes are severely damaged, trees are uprooted, and areas can be left inhabitable for “weeks or months.”

Depending on the part of the world in which they form, these hurricane-strength storms have different names but produce the same effects. In the Southern Hemisphere, they are mostly called cyclones, while they are referred to as typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean.

The first of 2023’s Category 5 storms came in February. Here’s a snapshot of the seven Category 5 storms so far this year.

February: Tropical Cyclone Freddy, 165 mph winds in the southwest Indian Ocean

Freddy was an extremely long-duration storm, with a total life cycle of about five weeks, which made it the longest-lived tropical cyclone on record. Freddy rapidly intensified — gaining at least 35 mph in wind speed over the course of a day — multiple times, including to a peak of 165 mph on Feb. 19.

March: Tropical Cyclone Kevin, 160 mph winds in the southwest Pacific Ocean

Kevin also underwent rapid intensification between March 1 and 3, climbing from a Category 1 to a Category 4. It reached Category 5 status largely over open water, but Vanuatu northeast of Australia suffered damaging winds and flooding.

April: Tropical Cyclone Ilsa, 160 mph winds in the Australian basin (or southeast Indian Ocean)

Passing over waters in the mid- and upper 80s, Ilsa rapidly intensified as it closed in on the northwestern coast of Australia in mid-April. Record-breaking wind speeds for the region were recorded at Bedout Island off the Australian mainland, and settlements near landfall sustained major damage.

May — Tropical Cyclone Mocha, 175 mph winds in the North Indian Ocean

Yet another storm took advantage of unusually warm waters and rapidly intensified near shore. Mocha ended up as one of the worst North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones on record after it crashed into Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing hundreds.

May: Super Typhoon Mawar, 185 mph winds in the northwest Pacific Ocean

Mawar became the strongest storm of the year, the strongest on record in May and one of the strongest observed at any time as its pressure bottomed out below 900 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. The storm underwent two episodes of rapid intensification.

September: Hurricane Jova, 160 mph winds in the northeast Pacific Ocean

Between Tuesday and Wednesday this week, Jova catapulted from a strong tropical storm to a 160 mph Category 5. Fortunately, it has remained over water and is weakening.

September: Hurricane Lee, 165 mph winds in the Atlantic

Lee also exploded from a forgettable looking storm to a beastly Category 5 in about a day. Hurricane Hunter aircraft observed the storm near its peak Thursday night, capturing frequent lightning in its core. The powerful storm is forecast to plow across the western Atlantic and could affect eastern New England and the Canadian Maritimes in about eight to 10 days.

Lee became the eighth Category 5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic in the last eight years. Between 1970 and 2000, only six Atlantic storms reached Category 5, according to John Morales, a broadcast meteorologist in Miami. “Category 5 hurricanes used to be rare,” he tweeted. “Used to be.”

But how can (7) they call on him (Jesus Christ) to save (7) them unless they believe in Him (Jesus Christ)? (7) And how can they believe in Him (7) (Jesus Christ) if they have never heard about (7) Him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they hear (7) about Him (Jesus Christ) unless someone tells them?” Romans 10:14 (777777)
