Born1970 (age 53–54)
New York
NationalityAmerican
EducationHarvard University
Occupation(s)iCyclone, co-founder of Symblaze
Known forRecord successful intercepts of tropical cyclones
Websitehttp://www.icyclone.com

Joshua Morgerman is an American businessman, storm chaser, and TV personality best known for his multitude of tropical cyclone chases. Born in 1970, he developed an interest in meteorology at an early age. After graduating from Harvard University in 1992, he co-founded the digital advertising company Symblaze in 1999. His storm chasing career began in earnest in 2005 with Hurricane Wilma in Florida.

With no formal education in meteorology, all his experience comes from the chases. In all of the years he has been chasing, Morgerman has intercepted 74 tropical cyclones including Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, Hurricane Patricia in 2015, and Hurricane Dorian in 2019, all of which were amongst the 15 strongest tropical systems recorded on Earth during the modern satellite era. In total, he has successfully entered the eye of 49 hurricane-force tropical cyclones, with the strongest being Hurricane Dorian since he did not fully cross paths with the eye of Haiyan.

Early life

Josh Morgerman was born in 1970 and grew up in Huntington, New York—part of suburban New York City. Living on Long Island, he developed an interest in meteorology at an early age; his mother attributes part of this interest to him seeing The Wizard of Oz when Morgerman was four. In August 1976, Hurricane Belle struck Long Island as a Category 1 hurricane, causing significant damage in his hometown.

At his father's insistence, Morgerman pursued a liberal arts degree at Harvard University rather than focusing on meteorology. In 1991, while attending Harvard, Morgerman went on his first hurricane chase: Hurricane Bob in Rhode Island.[1]

In 1999, Morgerman co-founded the digital advertising company Symblaze alongside his friend Michael Horton.[2] By 2004, he was living in Prague, Czech Republic, to work with Eastern European clientele.[1]

Personal life

Morgerman has no spouse nor kids, wishing to remain unburdened by family responsibilities to pursue cyclone chases.[1] In his spare time, Morgerman often studies historic tropical cyclones.[3]

Morgerman has expressed his support for Ukraine during their ongoing war with Russia following Russia's February 2022 invasion of the country.[4]

Morgerman has on occasion reached out to on X (formerly known as Twitter) to political commentators such as Mona Charen, Susan Del Percio, and Charlie Sykes to show appreciation for their podcasts or appearances on podcasts.[5][6][7]

iCyclone

Since 1991, Morgerman has been chasing tropical cyclones. His goal is to "core punch" the storms and record atmospheric pressure and document the experience.[1] With no formal education in meteorology, Morgerman's cyclone chasing is a passion project. All of his experience is in the field, though he advertises himself as an "adrenaline junkie". In an interview with The Washington Post in 2012, he stated this to be the primary motivator for chasing.[3]

He often relies on his instincts backed up by years of chasing cyclones. Morgerman leads the iCyclone chase team. Members include his "right-hand guy" Scott Brownfield who coordinates logistics or assists on chases, meteorologists Adam Moyer and Jorge González who provide forecasting information, and Cory Van Pelt who serves as the iCyclone technician.[3] In 2013, iCyclone expanded their chase region to East Asia, teaming up with fellow chasers James Reynolds and Mark Thomas. They ultimately intercepted four typhoons in one month including Typhoon Haiyan which devastated the Philippines.[8] Since 2014, his chasing has been funded by multiple media agencies including CBS, the Weather Channel, and WeatherNation.[1] In 2017, Morgerman conducted his first and so far only Australian chase, intercepting Cyclone Debbie in Queensland.[9]

Data collection and usage

Morgerman collects atmospheric pressure with multiple Kestrel 4500s. The data he has collected has been utilized by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in multiple instances to refine landfall intensities. 2011's Hurricane Rina's landfall in the Yucatán Peninsula was adjusted in light of his observations.[3] In conjunction with satellite intensity estimates, his measurement of 975 mbar (28.8 inHg) within the eye of Hurricane Ernesto in 2012 was utilized to upgrade the hurricane's landfall intensity to Category 2.[10]

In 2014, Morgerman's measurement of 943.1 mbar (27.85 inHg) within Hurricane Odile resulted in the landfall pressure being adjusted to 941 mbar (27.8 inHg) from the operational estimate of 930 mbar (27 inHg).[11][12] His observation of 937.8 mbar (27.69 inHg) in 2015's Hurricane Patricia, in conjunction with two nearby automated measurements, assisted in more accurately analyzing the hurricane's strength at landfall. Meteorologists at the NHC concluded an approximate minimum pressure of 932 mbar (27.5 inHg), yielding estimated winds of 150 miles per hour (240 km/h); this made Patricia the strongest Pacific hurricane on record to strike Mexico.[13]

Morgerman provided the only observed over-land pressure with Hurricane Willa's Mexican landfall in 2018. He observed a value of 968 mbar (28.6 inHg), corroborating the NHC's landfall intensity of 115 miles per hour (185 km/h).[14]

In 2016, Morgerman collaborated with meteorologist Andrew Hagen and Mexican researchers Erik Sereno Trabaldo and Jorge Abelardo González to reanalyze the 1959 Mexico hurricane, then considered to be the strongest landfalling hurricane on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Their analysis determined the storm to have been significantly weaker than originally estimated and resulted in its downgrade from a Category 5 to a Category 4. These revisions were later incorporated into the NHC's Hurricane Database.[15] In 2017, Morgerman co-authored an academic paper published by the American Meteorological Society on the intensity of 2015's Hurricane Patricia. He provided in-situ data describing the structure of the storm and allowing for a more thorough analysis of its landfall.[16]

Tropical cyclone chases

As of September 2023, he has chased 76 cyclones across Australia, East Asia, and North America. Of his successful core penetrations, five were Category 5, twelve were Category 4, and seventeen were Category 3.

2013 Typhoon Haiyan

On November 7, 2013, Morgerman flew with fellow chasers James Reynolds and Mark Thomas to Tacloban City in the Philippines to intercept one of the most powerful typhoons in the 21st century: Typhoon Haiyan.

They initially planned to ride out the storm south of the city, where the eye would ultimately make landfall; however, owing to a lack of sturdy shelters they opted to stay in Tacloban itself.[8] They set up at a four-story concrete hotel about 26 ft (7.9 m) above sea level.[8][111] The chasers came prepared with a week's-worth of food and water. Around 6:45 a.m. local time, the northern eyewall began battering Tacloban and winds rapidly became violent. Morgerman described the winds to have a "tornado-like quality" at times. Windows and doors at the hotel blew out and the roof was torn off. Trees in the region were completely defoliated. Around 7:50 a.m. a powerful storm surge swept through the city, with flood waters reaching a depth of 4 ft (1.2 m) at Morgerman's location.

The fast-rising nature of the water incited panic, residents sheltering at the hotel scrambled to the building's second floor and some broke windows to escape their rooms. Morgerman jumped into the water to help people get from flooding rooms to the stairs. Thomas severely injured his leg in the water while assisting trapped people.[8]

Morgerman described the experience as traumatizing, witnessing the total devastation of Tacloban, bodies strewn across the streets, and "a city spiraling out of control".[8] The crew was stuck in Tacloban for three days, eventually "escaping" on November 10 by which time the Philippine military arrived with relief supplies.[111] Morgerman observed a minimum pressure of 959.9 mbar (28.35 inHg) in the eyewall of Haiyan. Extrapolating from his second measurement of 960.4 mbar (28.36 inHg), he estimated the central pressure to have been below 900 mbar (27 inHg).[40]

On November 5, 2023, Morgerman returned to the Philippines and met with Reynolds and Thomas in Tacloban City a day later to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the cyclone hitting the city.[112] They returned to the hotel that they rode the storm out in, and the hotel celebrated their return with a banner welcoming them back to the city.[113] Morgerman revisited locations that were memorable to him from his time chasing Haiyan and reviewed the city's recovery since then.[114] He also visited a burial site where hundreds of unidentified bodies were buried following the storm.[115] The trio also attended a commemoration ceremony at the Tacloban City Convention Center for the cyclone's victims and met with locals who remembered them from their time in the city, and later attended a lunch banquet with President Bongbong Marcos.[116] They also planted mangroves on an island the San Juanico Strait to "replace the ones lost in Haiyan".[117] Morgerman also visited a family who he had met during the storm and whom he had helped rescue their eldest daughter out of the water.[118]

2014 Hurricane Odile

See also: Hurricane Odile

In September 2014, Morgerman intercepted Hurricane Odile in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Successfully entering the eye, he recorded a pressure of 943.1 mbar (27.85 inHg).[42] Operational assessments of the hurricane's landfall intensity were taken into account for the release of catastrophe bonds funded by Wall Street and the World Bank. The bond system guaranteed a payout of $50 million for a storm with a pressure under 932 mbar (27.5 inHg); Odile's operational estimate was 930 mbar (27 inHg). However, his observations "upend[ed] the system" and the bonds were rescinded. This prevented vital recovery funds from being provided to the Government of Mexico.[119] The hurricane caused extensive damage throughout Baja California Sur, with insured losses estimated at $1.2 billion.[120] Industry experts later expressed concern over possible conflicts of interest with storm chasers and the catastrophe bonds.[119][120]

2019 Hurricane Dorian

See also: Hurricane Dorian

On August 31, 2019, Morgerman flew to Marsh Harbour, in the Bahamas to intercept Category 5 Hurricane Dorian.[121] Initially staging his chase in Treasure Cay, he ultimate chose to ride out the storm at Central Abaco Primary School—a designated concrete shelter—in Marsh Harbour.[122][123] At 11:40 a.m. EDT on September 1, Morgerman reported board to be flying off the structures windows and children being wrapped in blankets for safety.[124] After tweeting this information, contact with Morgerman lost for two days before he was able to contact the Weather Channel.[122]

Around 2:00 p.m. EDT, Hurricane Dorian made landfall over the Abaco Islands with maximum sustained winds of 185 miles per hour (298 km/h), making it the strongest such storm on record in the Bahamas.[125] The eyewall of Dorian proved exceptionally violent, battering the school with "the force of a thousand sledgehammers".[126] He and others sheltering at the school held furniture against window shutters to prevent them from blowing in.[127] The school was largely destroyed in the first half of the hurricane, forcing Morgerman and those sheltering inside to evacuate to a sturdier government building during the calm of the eye.[122] During the eye, he recorded a pressure of 913.4 mbar (26.97 inHg), the lowest in his career.[70] Hundreds of residents, many injured during the storm, sought refuge in the structure for the second half of the hurricane.[122] After living in his car for two days, Morgerman arrived in Nassau by helicopter on September 3 before returning to the United States. He described Dorian as a "nuclear-grade hurricane" and "the most intense cyclone I’ve witnessed in 28 years of chasing".[122][127]

Hurricane Man

In October 2018, UKTV announced a new television docuseries starring Morgerman to be aired on the network channel Dave. The eight-episode show, titled Hurricane Man, chronicles Morgerman's chases in 2018 across the world. A film crew accompanied him on his chases. The series is produced by ScreenDog Productions and distributed by BBC Studios.[128] In addition to following Morgerman's experiences, the show also focuses on victims of the storms, sharing their experiences and how they're coping with its aftermath.[129]

Morgerman acted more carefully during his chases with the film crew present, feeling responsibility for their safety.[130] The show premiered in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2019,[129] and June 12 in Australia on BBC Knowledge.[130] The show debuted on September 15 in the United States on the Science Channel.[131] The series' first two episodes focus on 2018's Category 5 Hurricane Michael and its effects in Panama City, Florida.[130]
