    we've really become desensitized to the risk the FL peninsula experiences. another period like the 20's-50's will happen and we'll have plenty of double strike threats. some of the posts in the main thread lack historical understanding.

    maybe he'll get flown out on a c-130 after haiyan if the roads are blocked. he's pretty good at figuring it out and has more resources at his disposal now that he's filming for a show instead of freelancing.
  9. the ghost of leroy
    Yeah. I think he is all eyewall all the time. This is his scariest chase from an outside perspective.

    josh is getting smoked
  11. the ghost of leroy
    Not only that, but it puts pressure on roads, hotels etc that people from the NC landfall zone will need.

    Diana 1984 looped and hollowed itself out...cat 4 down to kinda crappy cat 2 before landfall. #garbagehistory

    the trend is my friend
  14. the ghost of leroy
    something tells me this is going to be presented in a way that is sensationalized...

    My grandparents lived in Bay St Louis at the time. They evacuated at first towards my aunt in Tampa, then the hurricane turned so they went home, then it turned back and they said screw it and rode it out. I remember thumbing through an album that had their hurricane party pics in it. Total rager. That eye video is still amongst the best ever. Another thing I remember is this photo, which is one of the iconic hurricane pics of the 80's. I used to have a book with it on the cover.

    I looked around on the JMA site all afternoon and found a few places that had max winds around 30 m/s, which is about 70mph. Most of the places had hours of 20-25 m/s winds so it was a prolonged gale for sure. I doubt the highest winds were sampled but I bet this was a cat 1 at landfall.

    This is 100kts?
  19. the ghost of leroy
    Lol 115kts. Seriously.

    people can read the posts and decide themselves about the hype. it's all love, man. i like your posts. but i am just staking out a strong position. the storm is increasingly looking like crap, the JTWC forecast is loltastic, and japan can handle it.
  21. the ghost of leroy
    everyone knows i am ridiculous. that's irrelevant, though. i am also usually right. 3 hours ago you said this: The center may be slightly tilted as well. Southerly flow is screaming. This is still an intense typhoon though. I am a bit worried this won't weaken more than 15-20 kts prior to landfall ue to rapid forward motion. this will definitely be wrong. by a bunch.
  22. the ghost of leroy
    I just do not see what your point is here. Who has made a call this will landfall as a Super Typhoon? Look at the forecast. It's still serious for Japan. japan is going to be just fine. they have great building codes...and look at the satellite, dude...its pooping out.
  23. the ghost of leroy
    tbh i think you have, mildly.
  24. the ghost of leroy
    Good thing that's not how we alert the public. You don't downplay a 135kt cyclone. Yes, the core may degrade to absolute crap landfall. You want to base your advisory on that call. Have you ever been in a Cat 2/3 storm? This will be destructive. Hopefully it will weaken an that destruction will be mitigated. you can totally downplay a 135kt storm that is in the middle of the ocean. what matters is what it is when it hits something. and when it hits something it's going to be pretty run of the mill....maybe even garden variety (shout out to my hurricane nate weenies). i'll be fine with eating a fat plate of crow if it turns out to be a disaster.
