The Old Hurricane Rules Are Gone
After several days of whirling across the Gulf of Mexico, blowing at up to 180 miles per hour, Hurricane Milton is tearing toward Florida as the terrible embodiment of a historically destructive season. Milton inflated at a near-record pace, growing from a Category 1 storm into a Category 5 behemoth in half a day, to become one of the most intense hurricanes in recorded history. The hurricane had already dispatched plenty of dangers, including at least five tornadoes, before weakening to Category 3 ahead landfall, which is expected tonight or early tomorrow morning. And the worst is still yet to come for millions of people in its path.The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was forecast to be monstrous, but what has actually happened is something more nuanced—and stranger. July began with Hurricane Beryl, a Category 5 storm that emerged much earlier than any other in history. Then, what should have been the busiest part of the season was instead eerily quiet. It was “fairly surprising,” Emily Bercos-Hickey, a research scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, told me. Then, beginning in late September, came a tremendous burst of activity: Hurricane Helene, which broke storm-surge records in Florida and unleashed devastating rains far inland; a flurry of named storms that spun up in quick succession; and now Milton.Hurricane experts are still trying to understand why the current season is so scrambled. The extreme storm in July, the sudden lull during the traditional hurricane peak in late August and early September, and the explosion of cyclones in October together suggest that “the climatological rules of the past no longer apply,” Ryan Truchelut, a meteorologist in Florida who runs the consulting firm WeatherTiger, told me. For Truchelut, who has been in the business for 20 years, “there is a dreamlike unreality to living through this time,” as if he’s no longer living on the same planet he grew up on. During that summer lull, this hurricane season seemed like it might be a welcome bust. Instead, it is an indication that our collective sense of what hurricane season should proceed is fast becoming unreliable.The dire forecasts for the 2024 hurricane season were based on variables that are familiar to experts. This summer, Earth entered La Niña, which weakens the winds that can prevent hurricanes from growing too strong or forming at all. Meteorologists warned that record-high ocean temperatures across the tropical Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, along with the moisture stockpiled in our warming atmosphere, would fuel intense storms: four to seven major hurricanes compared with the usual three. Already, the 2024 season has conjured four major hurricanes. And it doesn’t end until November.The mid-season lull, by contrast, was unexpected. Meteorologists also seem to have overpredicted the overall number of named storms—17 to 25 were forecast, and so far only 13 have arrived—though, again, there’s still time. “All the ingredients can be in place for an active or inactive season, but it’s the week-to-week variability that we can’t predict, but which often controls what happens,” Jeff Masters, a hurricane expert in Michigan who previously worked for NOAA, told me. Many Atlantic hurricanes are fueled by atmospheric conditions along the coast of western Africa. But this summer, the region stifled hurricane formation instead, thanks to an unprecedentedly heavy monsoon season. Scientists understand the basic mechanics of the quiet period. What experts can’t say, right now, is whether this scenario occurred because of natural happenstance. “We don't know for sure if that’s going to continue to happen with a warmer climate,” Bercos-Hickey said.The summer hiatus isn’t the only way that this hurricane season has surprised meteorologists: More hurricanes than usual are making landfall in the mainland United States. After Milton, the season will be one more landfall away from tying the existing record of six. Hurricane experts have chalked this up to simple bad luck, just one more variable of hurricane activity that we can't do anything about. But humans bear some responsibility for the fact that the hurricanes that arrive are, on average, worse. Preliminary studies suggest that climate change made Helene 10 percent rainier and 11 percent windier. “Eleven percent may not seem like much, but the destructive power of a hurricane increases by 50 percent for every 5 percent increase in the winds,” Masters said. Scientists believe that global warming is making hurricanes intensify more rapidly, too. Milton, Helene, and Beryl all underwent rapid intensification this year.This hurricane season may be charting slightly behind predictions, but “if we look at actual impacts instead of general metrics, it has been a catastrophic year,” Brian McNoldy, a senior research scientist at the University of Miami, told me. In Florida, residents had just begun cleaning up from Helene’s wrath when Milton emerged. Two weeks is not nearly enough time between two major storms, each one dialed up to unleash more water, whether from the skies or the seas, than they likely would have several decades ago. Meteorologists cannot perfectly predict the trajectory of any given hurricane season—too much is up to chance. Now, in Florida, millions of people are waiting to see what the odds will mean for them.

The shady origins of the climate haven myth
The cleanup effort for Hurricane Helene had just begun in North Carolina when Hurricane Milton crashed into Florida as a Category 4 storm on October 9. | Mario Tama/Getty Images The term “climate haven” never made much sense. After Hurricane Helene dumped two feet of rain on western North Carolina, many major media outlets marveled at how Asheville, which had been celebrated as a climate haven, had been devastated by a climate-related disaster.  Some in the media later reported accurately that climate havens don’t actually exist. But that still raises the question: Where did this climate haven concept even come from? Well before humans began putting billions of tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, entire populations would migrate toward better conditions in search of a place with milder weather or more fertile soil or the absence of drought.  Because of its speed and scale, however, human-caused climate change is especially extreme, and everywhere will be impacted by some degree of risk. There is no completely safe haven. Which is part of how we ended up talking about the idea of climate havens. It’s wishful thinking. At least that’s what several experts told me after Helene laid a path of destruction across the Southeast and as Hurricane Milton barreled toward Florida. As the impacts of climate change became more real and apparent, the media as well as local leaders started looking for a better story to tell. “People are desperate for optimism,” said Jesse Keenan, director of the Center on Climate Change and Urbanism at Tulane University, who described the concept of climate havens as a fiction. “It gives people hope.” Keenan actually blames himself for helping to popularize the term. For a concept that feels so widespread now, it’s surprisingly hard to find much mention of climate havens in the media before 2018. That was when the Guardian quoted Keenan in a piece about where you should move to save yourself from climate change that used the phrase “safe havens.” Buffalo, New York, and Duluth, Minnesota, were Keenan’s suggestions.  The concept gained more traction a few months later, when Mayor Byron W. Brown referred to Buffalo as a “climate refuge” in his 2019 state of the city address, followed by outlets like Bloomberg and Quartz referring to Buffalo as a climate haven. The New York Times did a whole spread on “climate-proof Duluth,” a slogan Keenan wrote as part of an economic development package commissioned by the city. He told me it was just a joke that got pulled out of context. It’s hard to know how responsible one professor with a knack for marketing was for the mainstreaming of the climate haven concept. But it’s easy to see why local governments would latch onto it.  The Census Bureau estimates that as climate change warms the planet over the next several decades, 100 million will migrate into and around the US. Increased flood risk may have already pushed several million people out of coastal and low-lying areas across the US, as wildfires start to raise questions about migration in the West.  Inland cities, namely those along the Rust Belt that have been losing population for years, see an opportunity to pull those people in. “The idea of a climate refuge itself is kind of an escapist fantasy,” said Billy Fleming, director of the McHarg Center at the University of Pennsylvania. “To the extent that a climate refuge even exists, it’s not a particularly physical or geophysical phenomenon. It’s social and economic.” Fleming added that, for these would-be climate havens, attracting new residents is a means to pull in more tax revenue and create wealth for the community. “It’s about keeping the real estate machine churning,” he added, “which is the thing that pays for everything else in the city.” The real estate industry has taken notice. Quite coincidentally, as Hurricane Helene was bearing down on the Southeast last week, Zillow announced a new feature that displays climate risk scores on listing pages alongside interactive maps and insurance requirements. Now, you can look up an address and see, on a scale of one to 10, the risk of flooding, extreme temperatures, and wildfires for that property, based on data provided by the climate risk modeling firm First Street. Redfin, a Zillow competitor, launched its own climate risk index using First Street data earlier this year. The new climate risk scores on Zillow and Redfin can’t tell you with any certainty whether you’ll be affected by a natural disaster if you move into any given house. But this is a tool that can help guide decisions about how you might want to insure your property and think about its long-term value.  It’s almost fitting that Zillow and Redfin, platforms designed to help people find the perfect home, are doing the work to show that climate risk is not binary. There are no homes completely free of risk for the same reasons that there’s no such thing as a perfect climate haven.  Climate risk is a complicated equation that complicates the already difficult and complex calculus of buying a home. Better access to data about risk can help, and a bit more transparency about the insurance aspect of homeownership is especially useful, as the industry struggles to adapt to our warming world and the disasters that come with it. “As we start to see insurance costs increase, all that starts to impact that affordability question,” Skylar Olsen, Zillow’s chief economist, told me. “It’ll help the housing market move towards a much healthier place, where buyers and sellers understand these risks and then have options to meet them.” That said, knowledge of risk isn’t keeping people from moving to disaster-prone parts of the country right now. People move to new parts of the country for countless different reasons, including the area’s natural beauty, job prospects, and affordable housing. Those are a few of the reasons why high-risk counties across the country are growing faster than low-risk counties, even in the face of future climate catastrophes, which are both unpredictable and inevitable. It’s almost unfathomable to know how to prepare ourselves properly for the worst-case scenario. “The scale of these events that we’re seeing are so beyond what humans have ever seen,” said Vivek Shandas, an urban planning professor at Portland State University. “No matter what we think might be a manageable level of preparedness and infrastructure, we’re still going to see cracks, and we’re still going to see breakages.”That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t build sea walls or find new ways to fight wildfires. In a sense, we have the opportunity to create our own climate havens by making cities more resilient to the risks they face. We can be optimistic about that future.
