  1. People talk about this but no one actually does anything. I propose we allocate enough funds to begin a massive geoengineering project to balance out whats going on in the east vs the west. We need to level out these inequalities.
  2. The summers from 2010-2013 were soooo much better than this wet yucky muddy mess. Warm yes, truly hot no. This is the tropical weather I despise. We need geoengineering on a massive scale to balance out the excess rainfall here with the drought and pure heat of the west.
  3. I haven't noticed this. Everything is as wide as I allow it to be when I set my browser width with my mouse cursor.
  4. a good test for their risk reduction system too. Looks like surrounding areas really got it bad though. I heard there was a 170 mph gust somewhere? I remember when it used to be a decade between Cat 4/5 landfalls. Now this is the second one in consecutive years ugh.
  5. Wasn't a direct hit though. I wonder whats a worst case scenario for them- a storm passing by just to their east and getting surge from the lake, or having the eye pass right over them or just to their west? This time it was about 30 miles to their west.
  6. I was wondering if we could ever have a snowy blizzard here with temps at or below 0. The closest to that which I remember happened in January 2004 with anywhere from 40:1 to 80:1 ratios. I think we were in the single digits in that storm, with about 10 inches of snow. The second big snowstorm that season, after the great December 2003 two day blizzard.
  7. Hey I agree with you, more terminology merely creates more confusion and it then becomes a distinction without a difference.
  8. Yep, isn't this something that is covered on the national level and local NWS picks it up when we are within 48 hours of the event?
  9. Yep, but there was a big storm in Feb 1979 that we were on the edge of the heavier totals. That was a very cold month wasn't it? Imagine if it was wet like January was.....
  10. Walt, is there an actual thing called a "tropical" tornado? I hear it mentioned often on the weather channel and I just though it's a term they made up just like "superstorm" when they called Sandy that. I found this page: https://www.weather.gov/cae/tropicaltornadoes.html However in the graphs below the word "tropical" is in quotes, making me think that it's just a slang terminology and there is no official definition for "tropical" tornado, just like there isn't for a "superstorm."
  11. But that could be rain Did 1983 have that kind of rainfall in the winter? At least the cold air was timed just right with the moisture for the big one in February.
  12. I think they do that in all basins. But then there is a level above that which is everything will be destroyed, get the hell out of there. Basically nuclear bomb level kind of damage.
  13. Walt, anything 1" or more should be considered a major event, it's a lot of rain and the ground just can't hold any more.
