Are Hurricane Categories Overrated?

Hurricane season brings us more than just storms—it brings skepticism, misconceptions, and sometimes misplaced confidence. On this episode, we talk about how we talk about hurricanes, and how forecasters like WeatherTiger's Ryan Truchelut weigh the risks to make the calls when lives are at stake. We examine the real dangers of hurricanes—like storm surge and flooding—that often get overlooked in favor of hurricane categories and cones of uncertainty.
