- Thanks for the data analysis, Mr.Simone. One of the most fascinating things about Hurricane Harvey is that it nearly dissipated before having a chance to devastate Texas.
- Harvey nearly terminated in the middle of the Caribbean, like many tropical storms. However, due to the high temperatures of the Gulf of Mexico and the formation of a warm eddy, as well as the proximity to the equator of the Bay of Campeche, Harvey was able to strengthen, growing into the monster hurricane that hit Texas a few days ago.
- Reporting: Charlotte James
- Harvey begins to strengthen in the Bay of Campeche, from a tropical wave to a tropical depression to a tropical storm.
- Harvey loses power, going from a tropical storm to a tropical depression to a tropical wave.
