Description

This bet is on 3 or more Category 5 Hurricanes in one year !!!
Started with a freak hurricane breaking the record by 2 months.
It took Beryl only 42 hours to strengthen from a tropical depression to a major hurricane — a feat accomplished only six other times in Atlantic hurricane history, and with Sept. 1 as the earliest date.
Only two years have ever had 2 Cat 5 Hurricanes in the same season 2007 and 2017.
With only one having 4 2005! The only one in recorded history Will this be the year we see 3 or more?

It was a wild year EPAC and Atlantic hit it!
Beryl Milton and Kristy scary stuff

Decision Logic

Measured on total category 5 Hurricanes passing 3 this season in the Atlantic Basin

And Epac.

Now it was just if we hit 4 lol. Cat 3 in November strongest recorded for November so still getting oddities https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2024-11-07-hurricane-rafael-unprecidented-track-2024 If Rafael holds onto hurricane status west of the Yucatan Peninsula, that would be the only November hurricane to do so since 1851. Rafael then will curl southward and likely fizzle before reaching any land.

Kristy hit Category 5 it formed into a Cat 5 Hurricane in the Pacific as a remnant of a crossover storm. This makes 3 storms of Atlantic origin Epac was added in the decision criteria for this bet in case of a crossover remnant as 3 Category 5's in a single year was already low. Hurricane Kristy (2024) – currently active, formed from the remnants of Tropical Storm Nadine (2024) off the coast of Mexico

@sirlanka Thanks I edited it to say it's only ever happened once in recorded weather history in 2005 that we had 3 or more in a season. Making it a once in 20 year event if we consider this century only or a once in recorded history event if we go since we have started weather records :) Still a freak of nature bet haha

2 months from the previous record is insane but we have never seen 3 Cat 5's and only 2 Cat 5's in the same year in history. Easy money if you think a triple threat that has never happened before in recorded history will not happen this year :)
