MEXICO: A new study that explores the possibility of a 1-in-10,000-year storm – a storm much worse than anything in recent memory – suggests a strong Category 3 hurricane could cause a nearly 37-foot storm surge in Tampa, Fla.
The Washington Post interviewed one of the authors of the study, which appeared in Nature Climate Change. The authors, Ning Lin of Princeton and Kerry Emanuel of MIT, call the possible storms “gray swans.”
The study looks at the possibility of “gray swan” storms in three cities – Tampa, Cairns, Australia and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Emanuel told The Washington Post the purpose of the study is “to raise awareness of what a very low probability, very high impact hurricane might look like.”
