Nearly forgot: OTD 20 years ago, Katrina became a major hurricane. It would be the only incarnation of the name in the Atlantic to do so.

Today is also the 35th anniversary of Plainfield.

 

[Lake Martin EF4]

On this date 20 years ago, Katrina was also quite the inland tornado producer over Alabama and Georgia with the outer bands. I remember one tornado in Georgia from Katrina killed over 2,000 chickens at a chicken house.

OTD 4 years ago, Hurricane Ida tore through the Mid-Atlantic, dropping many tornadoes - among them, the Mullica Hill tornado.

A storm chaser was driving on the same road as the man pulling his trailer and actually captured the moment his vehicle was swept off the highway. While not extremely graphic, it's definitely sad and chilling to know the guy didn't make it.

Oh wow @TH2002 tragic indeed. Had no idea

 

[Lake Martin EF4]

While not extremely graphic, it's definitely sad and chilling to know the guy didn't make it.

One of very few tornado videos (two others being Pecos Hank's Katie video and the Clem Schultz Rochelle footage) I know of that actually shows the moment the tornado impacted a known fatality site (or vehicle, in this case).

And another notable TC anniversary today.

OTD 90 years ago, the Labor Day Hurricane made its historic landfall near Long Key, Florida. It is the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall on record, with official stats of 160kt/892mb, but I am of the opinion that it holds the worldwide records for wind and pressure at landfall, along with the coveted accolade of the Strongest Atlantic Hurricane; my stats at landfall are ~175kt/~875mb.

Ancient TC anniversary here:

OTD 204 years ago, the Norfolk and Long Island Hurricane struck. This one was probably a Category Five at its NC landfall - the northernmost on record in the Atlantic.

OTD 24 years ago, Hurricane Erin was vibing off the East Coast of the US.


Videos only mostly unrelated (Erin is relevant in roughly the first sections of both):



Also Hurricane Irma happened over the course of the last week 8 years ago, here's some highlights:

And, finally, because the world is chaos and nothing makes sense, here's not one, not two, not even three, but four hurricane vlogs from GrayStillPlays of all people. As only he would say, "More chaos, dammit!"
