this image has me awe-struck


Figure 10. A mosaic of infrared satellite images from geostationary satellites showing all 15 tropical storms to reach or form in the Central Pacific basin in 2015. The images were obtained through the Naval Research Lab's Online archive. Miraculously, the Hawaiian Islands (outlined in aqua) seemed to have a zone of exclusion around them, and all the storms missed the islands. In 2014, Tropical Storm Iselle hit the Big Island and two other hurricanes came within 200 miles of the islands, and the busy Hawaiian hurricane season of 2014 was linked to climate change in a 2015 Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society annual attribution report on how extreme events may be influenced by climate change.
