Meteorological history[]

A very well defined tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa on May 18, 2013. This wave quickly became Tropical Depression 01HH, and then Tropical Storm Hype not too long after. Tropical Storm Hype slowly but surely strengthened over the next several months. By late 2013, it was at 70 miles per hour and 988 millibars as its intensity while still in the MDR (Main Development Region). Then in early January 2014, it had explosively intensified to 160 miles per hour and 914 millibars. Over the next year, Major Hurricane Hype would achieve its first peak intensity of 195 miles per hour and a minimum pressure of 874 millibars while nearing the Leeward Islands. By September 2015, it had experienced wind shear from Major Hurricane Douglas, and transitioned into a category five equivalent subtropical cyclone. It would then regain tropical characteristics after the demise of Major Hurricane Douglas. Hype would oscillate between being subtropical, a tropical storm, Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 status until early December 2016, when it finally stabilized at Category 5 status, undergoing steady intensification thereafter.


Impacts and records[]

Bermuda has been wiped off the map since early 2016. It kept getting hammered by Usercane Hype while it stalled near it and having sustained winds of a high-end Category 4 usercane to sometimes a low-end Category 5 usercane.

  1. Hype was and is the strongest usercane on record. Achieving a peak of 275 miles per hour and a minimum central pressure of 802 millibars.
  2. It is the third-largest usercane on record.
  3. Has the most ACE of any usercane on record.
  4. Longest-lasting Category 5 winds.
  5. First Category 5 usercane since Dylan in 2010.
