Globalize-section
My rationale for adding the maintenance tag is that the article's lead section reports that the effect is commonly observed over land in China and Australia. It would therefore make sense to include more examples from these tropical cyclones. 171.118.54.104 (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Best to make it not emphasize on "examples" with the intent of making each instance "notable". Focus more on generalization. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 21:18, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Examples
2001's Tropical Storm Allison spent a dozen days in June meandering slowly across the southeastern US from Texas to the Carolinas, generating torrential rains and looking much healthier over land than it would over the ocean prior to landfall and subsequent of departure.

Tropical Storm Erin of 2007 is an example of the effect, when the storm intensified over central Texas, eventually forming an eye over Oklahoma. Tropical Storm Erin gained even more traction as it travelled across the plains, a rare feat as most tropical storms weaken as they go farther inland. Anderson states "Until events like Erin in 2007, there was not much focus on post-landfall tropical cyclones unless they transitioned. Erin really brought attention to the inland intensification of tropical cyclones."

Tropical Storm Fay is an additional precedent for this type of phenomena, having attained a near-hurricane strength potency over central Florida; an intensity stronger than anything it had otherwise obtained over water. While over land, the structure of the cyclone improved substantially, developing an eye-like characteristic.

Another possible case is Tropical Storm Bill, when saturated soil conditions sustained the system for a longer period of time.

Yet another example is Tropical Storm Julia, which intensified into a tropical storm while located over the U.S. state of Florida.

Hurricane Michael
Hurricane Michael was strengthening up until landfall with most of the storm over land in the pocket of Florida coast. B137 (talk) 04:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
