Dublin, October 16 (RHC)-- In Ireland, the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia made landfall Monday as a post-tropical cyclone, bringing gusts of more than 100 miles per hour and knocking out power to tens of thousands of people.
Ophelia made history by becoming a Category 3 hurricane farther east than any other storm in recorded history, fueled by much warmer than usual ocean surface temperatures.
A 2013 study in Geophysical Research Letters predicts that human-fueled climate change will fuel more hurricanes that can survive long enough to make landfall in Europe.
