There seemed to be zero consistency on forecasts and reports related to Hurricane Lee early Friday morning, despite it developing into a major storm.
Two massive systems were developing in the Atlantic early Tuesday morning. One of those systems turned into Hurricane Lee. Then, in less than a 12-hour period, Hurricane Lee grew from a small Cat. 1 storm to something terrifyingly huge.
But no one could seem to agree over whether Lee was a Cat. 4 or Cat. 5 as of Thursday evening. MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci couldn’t say whether Hurricane Lee was Cat. 4 or 5, or just on its way to being that enormous.
Extreme meteorologist and rockstar storm chaser Reed Timmer shared an absolutely mind-blowing video of the lightning inside Hurricane Lee on Friday, claiming the system was already at a Cat. 5 level.
This is simply breathtaking – lightning and stadium effect inside…
