Will this Hurricane Season be even worse?

[Tidusauron12]

Can you see this season being any worse than 2005? I mean, 2004 was surpassed by 05... will 06 be even more horrible?

I say no. I think the 05 season's records will stand for a long time.

[Chikyuu Senshi]

I have a feeling that it won't be worse or better. I don't think 05's record will stand for awhile. We've been having some pretty messed up weather lately. I just hope people wise up and evacuate when necessary.

[Animematt55]

i predict more riots, rape, pillaging, and murder this year too.

Funny, our city flooded a lot in '97. NO ONE stolen, raped, or murdered anyone..... In fact everyone helped everyone....

Our area had some looting but very little all the crime includeing murder, child predation and theft came here from that city which shall not be named.

So far as the season the Farmers Almanac says my area is due for another bad one this year, it predicted Rita would land within a wekk of when it did so look for me to go AWOL in late August or early September.

05 broke soooo many records though. (Most intense Hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin; Wilma. Most intense Hurricane obseved IN THE GULF OF MEXICO; Rita. Katrina was THE COSTLIEST NATURAL DISASTER EVER IN THE US. Most storms in one season. Most storms in one season. Most Hurricanes in one season. Most 24-hour rapid intensification period, 90mb by Hurricane Wilma, I went to bed in the afternoon when it was a Tropical Storm. I woke up and Wilma was all of asudden a CAT.5; and the strongest Hurricane ever observed EVER in the Atlantic. Hurricane Vince is the only hurricane known to make land fall in Europe. It made land fall in Spain.) I could go on and on...

Actually, I've heard from the news and such that this year's hurricane season may be even worse. The water's temperature still isn't normal; they'll continue to come hard. I'm not sure how many records will be broken, but this hurricane season is sure to be devastating.

[Leader Desslock]

Did anyone see that typhoon that just threatened to slam into northern Australia? Peaking out near the TOP of the Class 5 hurricane scale with a sustained wind of 218 MPH?!?! That's insane. That's like a tornado a hundred miles wide.

WOW scary :O

Anyway I predict there will be just as many or more I hope none get as strong as 218MPH though that would be devastating.

I hope they all don't make landfall.

[sailornyanko]

Funnily Wilma didn't do nearly as much damage as hurricane Stan to mexican houses. Heck, Wilma was just sitting on Cancun for almost 2 days and mostly the only damage it did was suck away most of the artificial sand. Now the stupid hotels are demanding "sand insurance". Kinda makes one think if this sand sucking thing will become commonplace.

I think this year will have a lot of very powerful hurricanes though perhaps the US will learn that saying "better safe than sorry" about early preventive evacuating costs.

And it's not just about the actul hurricanes themselves, the most damage will be mostly bureaucratic. I don't think anyone who was reading the online news closely during Katrina will forget how people were forced to abandon their pets because evacuees didn't consider pets necesairy and worthy to evacuate (whereas a lot of the smarter people stayed at their damaged homes with their pets as long as possible and avoided the Superdome disaster).

If a similar incident happened to some random southern US city tomorrow, things won't be different from last year. maybe even worse with the budjet costs and all. I wonder if the americans will withstand another "embarrasment" free aid from the mexican army like last year (which sadly was completely ignored by the american media despite serving 3 free meals to several thousand people everyday... including some chubby women asking for more free servings because they liked the foreign dishes. The Papaloapan cruiser visiting the US was the big thing in the mexican media for months).

I also think Mexico won't be spared like earlier years. I think the Yucatan peninsula will get hit badly again. The country can withstand Cancun closing down again and nobody cares about Chiapas, but it will be economic chaos if the ports in Veracruz city are swept away. Acapulco is another city that's highly prone to hurricanes and it could get badly hit which could be another blow since it's another big maritime port.

I'm surprised Cuba was spared so much when Wilma barely touched it. They might not be so lucky this year.

[Tidusauron12]

Did anyone see that typhoon that just threatened to slam into northern Australia? Peaking out near the TOP of the Class 5 hurricane scale with a sustained wind of 218 MPH?!?! That's insane. That's like a tornado a hundred miles wide.

Yeah... Cyclone Monica. It may even be strogner than Typhoon Tip. (Some unofficial sources say it had a pressure of 869 mb. Tip's pressure was 870 mb.) If that pressure is true (869mb) then cyclone monica was *technically* the most powerful tropical system EVER recorded on the face of earth. But, there's no way it compares to Tip . WHen tip was at it's peak, it was half the size of the US, and had sustained winds of 190 mph, with gust over 230. What a Storm!!!

[Tidusauron12]

.

This is because Hurricane Stan was part of a larger weather system. Of the thousands that died during it's landfall, NOAA has contributed less than 100 of the deaths to Stan. Stan was just one part of a much larger system. (Though this doesn't make much sense since they retired stan from the list.)


Also, Hurricane Wilma was a Cat.4 when it made lanfall in Cancun. The eye was VERY SMALL, the smallest ever recorded, 1.5 miles across. The storm's eye was also very tight. This explains the lack of damage. But what saved the most lives was the well-planned evactuations.

(Sorry for the double post.)

[kiyomi]

Well, since I'm hiding out here in Panama City, Florida next to the AFbase, I'd say that this years Hurricane season will be like all the rest. Go to Home Depot, get my supplies, and wait it out. But this year, if a Cat FOUR comes this way, I'm bookin!! And since my son will be in Biloxi, guess we'll all make the "family outting" thing and do the escape thing all at one time. My brother in law just had his Allstate Hurricane Coverage dropped . He doesn't even live on the beach or in a flood zone. Get this, since Allstate went bust from last years Hurricanes, they put all their insurers into a friggin pot and drew a LOTTO to pick out the names of their policy holders that will get dropped. Fricken nice of them to tell these poor souls this like a MONTH away from Hurricane season. My brother in law said "Yeah, we finally win the fricken lotto..WRONG ONE, tho.."

[master terrence]

ya, If a cat. 4+ comes my way.... time to pack. Gotta set up shutter and everythign :rolleyes: last year one of my windows broke, mom freaked out.

[Haro!]

I have a strange feeling we (NY) are gonna get hit by something relatively big this year, no category 3s or 4s but some regular-*** hurricane. That will suck.

[master terrence]

The lesser cat. hurricanes are a pain too cause they take for ever to pass over and tend to be really wet.

[CrossboneGundam]

I have a strange feeling we (NY) are gonna get hit by something relatively big this year, no category 3s or 4s but some regular-*** hurricane. That will suck.

Been watching the Discovery Channel? :lol: They had some show about how New York would be annihilated if even a weak hurricane hit it dead-on. "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when! WHEN!!!"

I don't see why this hurricane season can't be worse than last season.

[animeotaku99]

WEll if all those movies are correct NY is screwed

[Keldran]

I think it's possible for there to be more and stronger storms but I don't think there will be more actual damage for the sole reason that New Orleans is just about the perfect Hurricane target, and if you hit it it's literally like scoring bonus points on the "that's f'd up" meter. Of course say another Katrina sized storm hits the city again, it'll do less damage and just move around the flood damaged homes that have yet to be rebuilt.

At any rate, we'll just have to put up with wildfires out here in LA. It's been ages since even a tropical depression has made it this far up the coast.

[Oburi]

Yes, and we're all going to die..




Or my pool cage will just fall over again and wont be repaired for a year.. -_-

If a Katrina-Sized storm hit NYC, then NY would be annihalated. Buildings would be left with skeletions... the subways would be flooded, and thousands would die. (You can't evacuate NY in two days.) In order for a Major Hurricane to hit NY, it has to be like the Long Island Express (a hurricane that hit NY and devastated the city a LONG time ago) ... a hurricane moving at close to 100 mph, like a speeding car.

[Animematt55]

I am in ND, the middle of the united states, one GIANT flood plane. No hurricanes could make it here at all.
I do have a small survival pack in case i get snowed in or flooded.

[Haro!]

I'd like to say that my house could take all the punishment of a lower category hurricane (and it may have seeing as its over 100 years old) but the storm surge would probably kick our ***. My professors have said 30 feet for a relatively weak hurricane and I'm very close to the east river. Damn my nice view....

[Evil_Koala]

Did anyone see that typhoon that just threatened to slam into northern Australia? Peaking out near the TOP of the Class 5 hurricane scale with a sustained wind of 218 MPH?!?! That's insane. That's like a tornado a hundred miles wide.

I heard about it. Why is it I hear so damn much about New Orleans but hardly anything about stuff like that?! Why the Hell are they even rebuilding New Orleans anyway?

I predict it will...Be worse in some aspects but better in alot of different aspects.

[kenshinbebop]

WEll if all those movies are correct NY is screwed


In that case, I'm saying my goodbye's now friends. Dunno if I'll ever see you again. But remember, I'll be looking down upon this forum. Good luck, and godspeed. :naughty: That probably jinxed me. :lol:

[Dalmain]

I hope not...last year was crazy..no electricity and the lines at the gas pumps..just thinking about it makes me ill. People regressed to the animal level...it was disgusting.

[Haro!]

Yeah I think we all have that mindset around here. I mean hurricanes, terrorism "f*** it!" but tell us train fare is going up and we panic...

[kenshinbebop]

^Haha. So true. In all reality, if something was assured that it was going to happen I'd be scared s***less, as the saying goes.

Because that Cyclone didn't kill anybody.

[Tidusauron12]

My professors have said 30 feet for a relatively weak hurricane .

What are you talking about? Hurricane Katrina had a 30 ft. storm surge in Biloxi, and that is the highest surge ever recorded in the north atlantic region. Only a Cat.5 or an extremely large hurricane can produce a storm surge of that size.

(Note, some Typhoons make bigger surges; like in Japan, Typhoon Tip caused a 100+ ft. Storm Surge that wiped out the coastline.)

According to NYC OEM (most the CE professors I have are somehow affiliated with it) for anywhere between Cat 2 and 3 parts of lower manhattan, coney island and the rockaways could get 30 foot storm surge.

Oh, in that case, yes. (Sorry, didn't know you were talking about NY.) That is true. The geography of Long Island sets it up for a disasterous proposal.

[Tidusauron12]

So far, most of you guys (from the statistical stanpoint) have overated this season, I mean this crap has been boring. 2 named storms in two months? No hurricanes? Man...

I just had an idea that this would be how it started out.

[dark_horse]

Actually, the prediction is that this season will be much less than 2005. Infact 2005 set the most records ever in one year. This year will have a couple I'm sure, but that is all. ^_^ It's already August and nothing much has really happen. ~_^)

Lets take a look back to Katrina....

[/CENTER]

I know... I'm the hurricane guy! Anyways, the poll results show that most people thought it'd be worse, despite NOAA's prediction. (Hey I wouldn't go with them anymore either, they were too wrong last year.)

[emotoaster]

It has been really good so far hopefully it will continue this trend till the winter.

[Animematt55]

how about this question? Will the looting, murder and rape be even worse this year?
Heck, i remember after 9/11, and the big power outage in NY, there wasnt nearly as many looters and peopple murderign others....

[dark_horse]

Weather is not something you can be 100% on, especially a hurricane and so that is why I make my own prediction. ~_^

I beleive that Alberto has so far been the only thing to look at... ^_^
and maybe that storm just in the last few days ~_^

Oh that's because we're civilized here.

[Animematt55]

Here is a tip to Hurrican victims....
If you want to be rescued faster....DON'T SHOOT THE PEOPLE RESCUING YOU!!!

[master terrence]

instead shoot the stupid prick making jokes.

[Tidusauron12]

instead shoot the stupid prick making jokes.

Make sure you get em' in the head.

[Tidusauron12]

Hey! Tropical Storm Chris just formed today! The cone of possibility could take it to florida... or the open gulf. It's to large to make any predictions just yet, but still, we should watch it.

[kiyomi]

I'm shakin in my fricken panties..

I'll jusy sit here and watch it develop and then laugh my butt off when I have to evac out of this god forsaken state that they THINK is the Sunshine State.

*by the way..what MORON named this state anyway?*

They should have just named it *FUBAR*..cuz..that's what it's gonna be if Chris becomes a hurricane..

[Tidusauron12]

:PThe Spanish named it. Florida means flower. (I'm one quarter spanish!) :P

I just looked at the dry air reports, and shear reports, and it seems this storm will strengthen, regardless where it goes.

[kiyomi]

really?? it means FLOWER??..

still they should re-name it FUBAR or better yet..name it GONE..

remember Andrew?

Anything higher than a Cat3 and I'm outta here.

[Tidusauron12]

If it passes over Cuba, that may hinder it's power... but if it stay's over water, there's a good chance it will hit the keys or Miami. But it could turn north... or go into the Yucatan... I just can't tell... As long as it doesn't come to Daytona or Jacksonville... :P (NO hurricane has ever hit Jacksonville in the last 60 years.)

[kiyomi]

I live in the PanHandle..Panama City beach..we've had some close calls but not a direct hit..I'm still leaving if it gets higher than a Cat3..

I'll be watching this one tho..after Katrina..**shiver**

[Tidusauron12]

Lot's of people don't realize that Katrina was only cat.3 at landfall. However, it lost it's power so fast, the storm surge didn't have timeto go down. So it had a 30ft. storm surge in Mississippi... Anyways, your area could get hit it the Hurricane crosses the peninsula, and then curves pack into the panhandle, though you'd only be dealing with a cat.1 if that happened. (It happened twice in 2004.)

[kiyomi]

I know..I've been living in PCB since 2000...dang..has it been that long?

Anyway, I'm just hope that this hurricane season isn't going to be like last years!!

*here's to wishful thinking*

[Tidusauron12]

The worst I've seen around my house is gust in excess of 70. It's really fun, until we get a tornado warning...

[kiyomi]

normally our wind gusts are like 30 to 40..that's on a NORMAL day. So, we're used to strong winds..but we've been pretty dry this season..up until a couple days ago..now, all we get is rain..and it's a welcomed rain, cuz we need it here so badly.

what about you in Daytona?? still on the dry side??

[Tidusauron12]

Yep. Still on the dry side. The afternoon thunderstorms can get bad though. In jacksonville, my brother said they had a severe thunderstorm warning. They had gust up to 50, but in Daytona, we just got some light winds, and a little bit of rain. Our area is sorta' still suffering from drought or whatever. The only thing about it is when Hurricane Frances made landfall, we had winds sustained at about 40, and gusts up to 80. That's the worst weather I've ever seen. A tornado also hit nearby when Frances came ashore. Anyways, I guess we'll just keep watchin' Chris.

[master terrence]

ok, what ever happens, it's miami-dades turn to take the big damage. Yes, believe it or not, we take turns taking hurricanes. I forgot how the order went in the past, but who cares.
I think it went George, Andrew, Wilma.. and that is up to where it went.

[Tidusauron12]

Hey, for all I care, Miami-dade can take it! :P

[kiyomi]

Miami-dade..ya all can HAVE it baby!

[Tidusauron12]

lol. :P You're know you're talking about human lives right? lol... oh well, better their lives than mine. :P

[kiyomi]

Yes Tidusauronsan..I was only kidding about miami taking the heat (pun intended, btw)..

I wouldn't want anyone to have to go thru another disasterous hurricane season.

But let's face it..they're out there..and they're coming..and they're gonna be pissed (Hurricanes).

So...we'll just have to wait and see what this Tropical one does.

[Tidusauron12]

I don't expect this one to become major. Too much shear in the air. It'll probably become a weaker hurricane at best. (Cat.2 maybe.) But who knows...

[Tidusauron12]

Once again, the weather is doing what they said it wouldn't do. They said Tropical Storm Chris would weaken back into a depression, but it has instead gained strength. It now has winds of 60 Mph. It if stays north of Cuba/Hispanoala/Jamaica, it'll definately become a hurricane. And if it gets into the Gulf of Mexico... well then... there will be a problem.

[kiyomi]

*sigh*

and here we go again...

*packs up and moves to AZ*

[Tidusauron12]

:uhh: Don't you know? Arizona went almost 200 days without rain last year! hundreds died from heat stress!

[kiyomi]

hmmm..heat stress..or a house falling on top of me..

decisions...decisions...

so many choices...so little time..

[Tidusauron12]

lol. Heat stress is more serious than people think. Anyways, I'd rather live in Arizona maybe too. Don't you know? A tropical storm from the Pacific Ocean once crossed over Arizona in the fiftys, leaving 72 people dead! IT's true!

[kiyomi]

Well then..I guess no where is truly safe, huh?

Then I shall stay right here in PCB and just wait it out with the rest of the Florida population..

How long have you been living in Daytona anyway?

[Tidusauron12]

Well, I travel alot, but my home when I lived with my parents (a few years ago.) was in Jacksonville, which is about 30 minutes from daytona. I moved to Daytona just to get away. I've been in Daytona 2 yearsm but I've hardly been in Daytona for a half year. (Again, I'm always traveling so I leave my house behind alot.)

[kiyomi]

Oh okay..well, keep me posted on the potential hurricane..

maybe we can both hide out in..hmmm....Canada?? does anything ever happen in Canada?

[Tidusauron12]

Not that I know off... some terrorist tried to use Canada to sneak through into the US... but other than that... it's clean from any serious problems...


It's perfect!

[kiyomi]

Well then..

Canada..here we come!

[Tidusauron12]

Hey, and the chances of heat stress go down! It's a double whamey! :)

[kiyomi]

Hmm..that does sound good..

still keep me posted on the storm..never hurts to be prepared.

[Tidusauron12]

^Gotcha'. It's what I'm here for... (Sorta'... well... not really, but i will anyways...)

[Jaden Ore]

I'm slightly disappointed at this year's hurricane season, because my name was on the list for this storm season. I was hoping to get a little bit of fame in history of the most destructive hurricanes ever. But it seems that I won't even get a chance to appear on the big screen since there's barely been any strong activity down there.

Oh well, you win some and you lose some. Doesn't really bother me in the slightest. As a matter of fact, I would rather my name remain unannounced. I don't wouldn't want a storm with my name become the next Katrina. That would both scary and horrible. But the future is unpredictable and I wonder what surprising opportunities our little friend Mother Nature will have in store for us.

[Tidusauron12]

^I am dissapointed too. I wanted a super active season but this isn't very exciting... last year I was like: WTF? WOW! And had fun but this year... no...

[Jaden Ore]

Well, last year we got an invasion of strong hurricanes. This year around, we got Above-Normal Heat Waves and Forest Fires out west.

[Tidusauron12]

But hurricanes are alot cooler... :P

[Animematt55]

Well, last year we got an invasion of strong hurricanes. This year around, we got Above-Normal Heat Waves and Forest Fires out west.
What really gets me mad s that peopel in America are actually dieing from the heat. I read that we got a death or two and a fire in my state. Seriously, i couldn't believe it....
I just hope people don't start looting Air Conditioners :rolleyes:

[Jaden Ore]

Hurricanes can only keep me interested for so long. I on the other hand, tend to like artistic weather: Lightning Storms & Tsunamis.

[Animematt55]

I am expectign a really bad blizzard and flooding up here. So i am stocking up on foor and emergency supplies. Plus zombie protection

[Tidusauron12]

^Zombies from all of the bad weather... they feed on those who were prepared and live!!! :censored:

[Animematt55]

^Zombies from all of the bad weather... they feed on those who were prepared and live!!! :censored:
I have a book though....so i am saved!

kinda on-topic. After the bad blizzard we get, it will flood pretty bad here.
Seriously...why am i living in a giant flood plain?? (central plains)
i gotta get up on top of the mountains. So when the world sends i may still be dry.

[Tidusauron12]

Hurricanes can affect inland flooding if they make it inland enough. Some hurricanes have made it to the plains before, as remnants, and dropped a good 10 inches or so of rain.

[Tidusauron12]

The convection seems to be getting around the center of circulation. It seems that Chris could very well become a Hurricane soon.

[Tidusauron12]

I don't expect this storm to hit florida now... It'll probably hit Jamaica.

[Tidusauron12]

The Tropical storm has become alot better orangized, and winds are up to 65 mph. It will definately become a hurricane... I'm almost 100% sure. Where it goes is the question. If it hits Cuba... it'll be shread apart. It it hit's Jamaica, it might get into the Carribean or the gulf. If it turns north, Miami could take a hit... I just don't know.

[Tidusauron12]

Here's a good sattelite image.

Tropical Storm Chris (http://www.goes.noaa.gov/HURRLOOPS/huwvloop.html)

(It has to load, give it a sec.) :P

[kiyomi]

I've been keeping a watch on it on the weather channel...god..please..don't come into the Gulf!!

That's all I can do is pray....

[Tidusauron12]

Lol. The Weather Channel is good. I just like to listen to the nerds down at NOAA a little more since they are usually more accurate. :P

Anyways, now that I think about it... Kiyomi-San... you might get hit!!!

Just kidding. I'm just watching where it goes for now.... they move so slowly.

[Tidusauron12]

Anyone live in Miami or the keys of Florida? You might have a hurricane heading your way... perhaps a Cat.1 or 2. Maybe even a 3.

Edit: Anyways, the Storm is encountering shear on it's northwest side... if won't become a hurricane just yet.

[kiyomi]

Oh you're real funny T-man..

If it comes anywhere near my way..I'm heading for Canada...

[Tidusauron12]

Yes. To Canada!

[master terrence]

I already put hurricane shutters up on the sides of my house, can't be bothered to do'em all when I have to do everything else in the world. Might as well just leave them up for ever. Keeps my room dark, never have to worry about sun light.

[kiyomi]

I have the new fiber glass ones..that way when you board up the windows, at least you can still see what the hell just hit your house..

*packs up and looks at map to Canada*

[Tidusauron12]

^Hurricane Shutters? Where do you live?

Edit: Sorry Kiyomi-Chan...

Anyways I leave my house normal. If damage happens, I want it done to my house!

[Tidusauron12]

The storm has weakened... shear has increased. Wind sare down to 60 from 65. It may weaken further... or it may become a hurricane... I don't know...

[Tidusauron12]

OK! THE FINAL WORD!!!

Chris is not forecast to become a hurricane anymor!!! It is forecast to run into Jamaica... and if it survives, go into the gulf or the Carribean!!! So it probably won't have a big effect on anything. (Mountains in Jamaica are so steep... mudslides...)

[MagicianCamille]

Chris. XD Anybody who gets killed by that hurricane doesn't get a tombstone.

Chris. XD

[Tidusauron12]

Oh... I forgot to mention.... It has weakend to a minimal tropical storm... all of the convection is being stripped off of the storm... so it might dissapate over Puerto Rico... and kill hundreds from mudslides... (Just kidding... but still, it might dissapate.)
