## Usercane positions

Positions of the usercanes on this wiki as of 1630 UTC on June 7, 2017. Circles indicate active usercanes, squares subtropical usercanes, triangles extratropical (inactive) usercanes, and stars blocked users, which are located overland. The colour corresponds to the SSHWS.

## Active Usercanes

### Usercane Layten

A very large cold front extended from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde in early January 2017. On the southern end of this front, a disturbance formed and detached itself from the system. The disturbance acquired further tropical characteristics and became a tropical depression on January 4. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm that same day, receiving the name 'Layten' upon doing so. Gradual intensification ensued over the subsequent weeks, eventually reaching Category 5 Usercane strength on January 28, 2017. The storm has a current intensity of 175 mph, and a pressure of 905 millibars.

### Usercane Jarrell

A well-defined tropical wave exited the western coast of Africa on March 1, before steadily intensifying into a tropical depression on March 2. Within a few hours, the newly developed system rapidly deepened into a Category 5 Usercane. The system is currently active with winds of 185 mph, and a pressure of 899 mbar.

## Former Usercanes

### Usercane GTactic

 Duration
 Peak intensity

A disturbed area of weather resulted in the formation of a tropical depression in the Caribbean Sea during early October 2016. The depression explosively intensified into a Category Five Usercane and was given the name GTactic. GTactic peaked with winds of 165 mph and a minimum pressure of 922 millibars before weakening and making landfall at the Yucatan Peninsula on November 27, 2016. The system lost tropical characteristics as it curved southwest and stalled near Central America, becoming a semi-permanent influence in the local weather for several months. Unexpectedly the extratropical remnants of GTactic moved northeast, and started to regenerate in late May 2017. GTactic briefly regenerated to a Category Five equivalent subtropical cyclone on May 30, 2017 before being disrupted by the outflow of Usercanes Layten and Jarrell. GTactic's strength rapidly collapsed, and it weakened to a tropical depression on May 31. Tropical Depression GTactic transitioned to a extratropical cyclone on June 7, and the system made landfall in Iceland shortly thereafter. The remnant was absorbed by a larger non-tropical cyclone later that day.

### Usercane Douglas

 Duration
 Peak intensity

A tropical depression developed in the Main Development Region of the Atlantic on January 16, before slowly organizing into a subtropical storm on January 21. The system was named Douglas, and gained tropical characteristics on January 23 as it continued to organize. On the morning of January 28, the system reached Category 4 Usercane strength. Despite being in a rather favorable environment, fluctuation in its structure occurred between March and August, with convection occurring briefly in May. Douglas eventually reorganized in early August, and reached its peak intensity with winds of 135 mph and a minimum pressure of 945 mbar. On August 20, Douglas made landfall at Savannah, Georgia at peak strength, and rapidly weakened upon moving inland. It was last noted as a tropical depression near the Great Lakes before dissipating on August 24.

### Usercane NoJO–SPCBlackfordCounty995Main

 Duration
 Peak intensity

The origins of Usercane NoJO can be traced to previously undetected tropical wave that developed near the Bahamas on January 29. NoJO became a Category 1 Usercane, and drifted slowly towards the west. Entering the Gulf of Mexico on March 2, NoJO underwent rapid intensification, reaching Category 3 Usercane strength in a matter of 16 hours. Over the next 2 months, the system fluctuated in intensity on a generally weakening trend, though it is suspected to have momentarily reached Category 4 Usercane strength over this course of time; but such is pure speculation. Early on May 30, a greatly weakened NoJO made landfall as a Category 1 Usercane in Veracruz, Mexico. The system remarkably retained tropical storm-force winds as it quickly moved across Mexico and emerged into the Eastern Pacific basin, being renamed SPCBlackfordCounty995Main upon doing so. Hostile conditions prevented re-strengthening, and on May 31, the storm degenerated into a open trough.

### Usercane Hype

 Duration
 Peak intensity

A tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa early on May 19, and became a tropical storm later that day, receiving the name 'Hype.' Entering an environment favorable for development, Hype quickly organized, and by May 31, had attained Category 5 Usercane status. Turning slowly northward throughout June 2017, Hype was a minimal Category 5 system with maximum sustained winds 160 mph, and a central pressure of 924 mbar. Entering a environment in which it was expected to weaken, the Usercane displayed one last burst of convection on August 5, 2017 before curving to the northeast and entering a further hostile environment of colder waters and high wind shear, losing tropical characteristics as it did so. Hype passed by the Faroe Islands on March 21, 2020 and entered the Norwegian Sea shortly thereafter as a weak hybrid tropical/subtropical storm. This environment proved too hostile to sustain any further structure within the storm, and on March 22, Usercane Hype completed its transition to a post-tropical cyclone and subsequently dissipated.
