r/hurricane is a subreddit with 92k members. The most common kinds of discussions are news and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses hurricane melissa, hurricane, storm, tropical, and pressure.
Hurricanes can be a source of stress/anxiety, and can unfortunately be life changing for some. This is a community of Weather Enthusiasts, Tempestologists, or just human beings who aim to provide helpful resources for Tropical Cyclone preparedness while discussing and tracking active storms. A Tropical Cyclone is a spiraling area of thunderstorms rotating around a Low-pressure area with a closed low-level circulation that produces heavy rain and high wind gusts.
