“While these storms can develop a few different ways, the strongest tend to spin up in the Gulf of Mexico, cross the southeastern U.S., then streak up the East Coast. Initially fueled by moisture and heat in the Gulf of Mexico, the storm then pulls in wintry cold air from the interior U.S., and the resulting sharp temperature gradient fuels fast development.” – Full report
