Did you know that ZERO U.S. major hurricane landfalls occurred from 2006-2016? 12 year drought.
We are 0 days since a U.S. major hurricane landfall.

First NHC official forecast for #Helene when it was labeled Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 (#PTC9) (left) vs observed (via @cyclonicwx) (right).
In general, I'm not sure how you can do much better than that. pic.twitter.com/xYP2xqbbR2

NHC forecasts of Helene's landfall were extraordinarily consistent, particularly after the PTC stage (beginning with the 5th forecast in this sequence). At that point, all the forecasts fell within about a 40-nm-wide circle, and nailed the timing within ~2 h. (1/5) pic.twitter.com/3JVDoPfcMy
