The devastating impact of the deadly Friday night tornado in #RollingForkMississippi is a stark reminder of the immense power of natural disasters. We must continue to study and understand these phenomena to better prepare and protect communities in the future. #Tornado

It's happening fast folks. Winds already at 60 mph. Convection firing near the center. Once this storm clears Cuba it will quickly organize and rapidly intensify. A cat 3 is forecast... but prepare for a stronger storm. #Ida

The results imply that seasonal forecasts of TC activity metrics such as ACE and PDI, to some extent, can be considered as a proxy for forecasting economic losses from TCs.
