How has the increased frequency of rapidly intensifying hurricanes affected emergency preparedness strategies in Florida?

Erin's rapid intensification, exceeding 35mph windspeed increase in under 24 hours, is linked to record-warm ocean waters, a condition made 100 times more likely due to climate change. This event is part of a broader trend: such rapid intensification is now five times more frequent than in the 1980s.

How did Hurricane Erin's unusual size and intensity contribute to the damage and disruption observed along the coast?

Erin's unusual size, with tropical-storm-force winds extending over a 600-mile diameter, exacerbated its effects despite remaining offshore. The storm surge breached protective sand dunes, causing significant flooding and road closures, highlighting the vulnerability of the Outer Banks barrier islands to even non-landfalling hurricanes. The extensive flooding and damage to infrastructure underscore the need for improved coastal resilience measures.
