This is the strongest cyclone to have never have become a tropical system and it has never had any frontal systems attached to it. It formed on March 1st, 1997 from a huge area of warm humid air rising in the Central Plains it then started to rotate counter-clockwise and became a powerful and huge low pressure system it then slowly deepened it brought tons of rain to the Central Plains to the Southeast US and the Northeast and parts of Canada bringing as much as 3-4 feet of rain in some places. It has absorbed lots of tropical and subtropical cyclones into its huge circulation but it has never become a subtropical or tropical or even a extratropical cyclone it just remained a low pressure system. It now has a minimum central pressure of 859 millibars it is Currently on the other side of the US as the Strongest High pressure system ever, bringing very strong winds and very heavy rain with winds sustained up to 225 mph gusting to near 300 mph, Like Mini Black Hole Thomas and its high pressure counterpart it will never dissipate.
