  1. The other hot trick is to keep storm2k open in a tab. Their threads move much quicker and every satellite shot you could ever want is posted there because that’s all those people know how to do.
  2. This isn’t 2006. Stop using the NHC floaters and use tropical tidbits.
  3. Lol another failed mission because of something breaking on the plane.
  4. I think you are forgetting hurricane Joan 88 but don’t care enough to verify. You should look it up tho
  5. Hope the wx station holds up. Let’s see if they have get a sub 890 reading
  6. I’m surprised they are running back Goni. It should have been retired last cycle because that storm was a banger. Anyways, this one looks good too. It’s nice to see red meat in the WPAC
  7. You would’ve been a hoot an hour or two after Katrina blew through
  8. Best storm of the season. This one is a ripper.
  9. An actual wx station reading 94 sustained is pretty impressive for a cat 2. In fact that’s the best evidence we have for a cat 3 designation, IMO.
  10. Damn these are nice waves. Making the coastal waters of the GOM look like the North Atlantic or Bering sea
  11. I’m not signing up for the mark of the beast just to hear about a decaying cat 2
  12. I suggest you file a public complaint and let us know what they have to say about the rules of math.
  13. I saw that earlier. Anyone an expert on near shore wave heights? I saw the associated graph and it looks so extreme that I wonder whether it is an instrument error.
  14. Few, if any, care about your personal batshit preferences as to whether this is 5kt stronger than the NHC says it is.
  15. Let’s just call it an Australian cat 4 because that way nobody is wrong.
  16. A better solution would be to get rid of mph and speak in terms of knots. It’s all very nice and clean when we do that.
  17. People will focus on New Orleans but the MGC is where we could have more interesting water issues. At least unlike Laura will have a nice way to benchmark the water since it’s not all bayou and Camille and Katrina both had well documented surges there.
  18. The levees will probably be fine but referencing what they are designed to handle or have prevented before doesn’t seem like the way to go. If they do fail it will not be because of their specs, it will be because of an unknown defect. Our infrastructure sucks. Something could fail unexpectedly just like Katrina.
