Those scientists with all their so called studies and evidence were correct….perhaps  there is a little sumtin to this climate change hoax.
How rapid intensification spawned two monster hurricanes in one week
Warm waters supercharged hurricane Helene in the Gulf of Mexico and hurricane John in the eastern Pacific
Helene isn’t just a textbook case of such rapid intensification — it’s the star student.
Scientists have been gritting their teeth, anticipating just such an event, given 2024’s superhot waters. Helene’s fury was fueled by record-hot temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. Sea-surface temperatures in the Gulf are high, in some places 2 degrees Celsius higher than the September average of around 29° C. But even more importantly, the Gulf’s excess ocean heat isn’t just skin-deep: The waters stay very warm deep into the water column, increasing the overall ocean heat content and providing even more fuel for a swirling storm (SN: 7/2/24).
Another favorable factor for hurricane formation in the Gulf was the absence of wind shear, changes in wind direction or speed higher into the atmosphere. Faster upper-atmosphere winds can eat away at a tightly swirling cyclone, by whisking away the heat and moisture they need from their centers.
