When rapid intensification surprises forecasters, as Hurricane Michael did in 2018 when it grew into a destructive Category 5 hurricane right before hitting Tyndall Air Force Base and Mexico Beach, Florida, in 2018, communities can be left with too little time to evacuate and prepare.

Why AI struggles with detail.

Unlike global weather forecasts, hurricane intensity forecasts are often considered a regional forecasting problem.
Steffi GirlHOST
I've done them just about, uh, all routes.
Steffi GirlHOST
I, I believe when it was going to Mexico Beach, I didn't take it there, but that has been my mode of transportation to get around town very easy.
Steffi GirlHOST
Um, I think it's still $1.50.
Steffi GirlHOST
I hadn't heard the way, has it gone up, and you could pay, have exact change.
Brian SparksHOST
And this is what we build for.
Brian SparksHOST
In Mexico Beach, Florida, a house withstood Hurricane Michael in 2018.
Brian SparksHOST
And the entire area was almost completely devastated by this hurricane that made landfall.
Brian SparksHOST
But there was one house that seemed to be completely and totally unharmed.
John GordonGUEST
the water.
John GordonGUEST
I don't disagree, but if you go to Michael in Mexico Beach, if you go on the right side of Mexico Beach, it is total brown.
John GordonGUEST
It looks like a nuclear holocaust.
John GordonGUEST
That's the surge.
John GordonGUEST
You go west of Mexico Beach, you see flash flooding and flooding, but it's not brown because it wasn't the salt water that came on.
John GordonGUEST
So every piece of water is not the same.
KruserHOST
Yeah.
CatturdHOST
Yeah, there's still bars and restaurants.
CatturdHOST
And I mean, they're just now got Mexico Beach kind of built back where there's restaurants and stuff.
CatturdHOST
Eight years later.
CatturdHOST
It's crazy.
AmandaHOST
Over the years.
AmandaHOST
Even a sunset on Mexico Beach.
AmandaHOST
If you're looking through Christy's photo collection, sunset won't narrow the search enough because she'll have a bajillion photos of sunsets from her cottage.
AmandaHOST
But sunsets in Mexico will narrow her search to just that.
Joyce OwensGUEST
And one of the photos that was taken that became very well known was one of our very contemporary modern houses on the beach standing just, it's just standing there perfectly with nothing around it.
Joyce OwensGUEST
It's just like the one, the photograph that became very famous up in Mexico Beach.
Joyce OwensGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Joyce OwensGUEST
When, you know, it was only one house.
MollyHOST
Yeah.
MollyHOST
It's like you go down, so PCB, Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, and then there's this little island that turns like this.
MollyHOST
And I know it's not officially an island, it's still connected, but you get what I'm saying.
MollyHOST
It's like this little tail, and that's Cape San Blas.
