2025 Hurricane Season

[Durian Fiend]

And BTW, the images above don't reflect Durgin's "narrative". 

I think you're confusing my use of the word 'narrative' with 'conclusions'

Those images support his discussion.. his narrative. His conclusions, as you point out, are otherwise.

But then, what would I really know? I avoid FB.

OK.  I've had the impression you don't particularly care for Durgin, hence my assumption that your usage suggested he was putting a biased spin on his interpretations. 

I forget - - 
A hurricane passing north of us has less damaging winds than one passing south, right?  That’s why Iselle created so much damage in Puna with 70-75 mph winds?

Anyone care to fill in the details of hurricane circulation patterns?

Correct.  The east to west speed of travel for the storm will amplify its strongest wind gusts as they move counterclockwise.
