Meet Hurricane Helene! Hurricane Helene formed on September 7 and dissipated on September 16, 2018. Ring a bell? No? Well, then it is time to get to re-know the hurricane child prodigy that Helene.
Hurricane Helene wasted no time at all in moving from low pressure system over West Africa into a formidable hurricane. Hell, Helene was already one heck of a storm over West Africa! On September 7th, Helene left West Africa. On September 8th, she already was a hurricane. The second easternmost hurricane on record in the satellite era. Helene peaked in strength on September 11, 2018, with 110mph winds, a category 2 storm.
But Helene wasn't done yet. She was a precocious storm with alot of life to live. She even briefly entered into a Fujiwhara interaction with Tropical Storm Joyce. By the end, Helene became the first named storm in  the European windstorm season bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to England and Wales.
So what has Helene been up to since? And how does one move on from being a child prodigy? In one of the more profound conversations with a hurricane, I've ever had, Hurricane Helene drops some wisdom on her life's journey.
