    Hey I agree with you, more terminology merely creates more confusion and it then becomes a distinction without a difference.

    Bulls eye of 3-5" headed right for our region
  3. LibertyBell
    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?
  4. LibertyBell
    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.....

    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."

    what if it transitions to ET?
  7. LibertyBell
    Why is it that these I storms always seem to be so noteworthy. I named storms are the most retired (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.
  9. LibertyBell
    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.

    Looks like 2" is the base minimum for this
  11. LibertyBell
    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.
  12. LibertyBell
    I dont consider 2" a moderate event, that's a lot of rain

    question is when will NYC break 20" in a month or even 24"
  14. LibertyBell
    Don, why don't we categorize these 150 mph + storms as Super Hurricanes like they call them Super Typhoons in the Pacific? I feel like that adds more attention and significance to them as well as 150 mph being a special benchmark (2x minimal 75 mph hurricane threshold, or 4x stronger using the square law). That said this will likely become a Cat 5 at landfall just like Andrew and Michael were, just look at the warmth of the waters there. Amazing on the 16 year anniversary of Katrina. I still think these truly special high end storms should get the moniker of "Super"

    that PRE has me worried, I think we saw the same thing in July when all hell broke loose even before the remnants got here. Our subways were flooded, it was a nightmare.
  16. LibertyBell
    we're getting those high totals because of the high dew points....just look at what happened last night and today
  17. LibertyBell
    60 mph winds and 6 inches of rain for the south shore of Long Island. Thats horrible
  18. LibertyBell
    if this was winter and it was snowing...... lol Lee Goldberg messed up last night and no one corrected him he said chance of rain and snow showers overnight lmao
  19. LibertyBell
    Didn't know we had a developing coastal storm going on out there
  20. LibertyBell
    lol yea I guess. I'm going to look back and find 1992 because I think that was even cooler. Cold and rainy summer, we dont get a lot of those anymore. Rainy yes cold hell no. edit- well 1992 had 6 somehow, with 1 in June and 5 in July. 1950 and 1951 only had 2 and 1 respectively, so 3 days over 2 years lol. 2014 only had 2.....but the big surprise was 1967 which had 0 90 degree days! I wonder if this was actually the case or if there is missing day from that year, because it came after the ultra hot summer of 1966 when JFK had 3 days of 100+ (matched only by 2010) and their all time high of 104 (also LGA's all time high of 107).
  21. LibertyBell
    It makes me wonder if this heat was timed better (read mid or late July) if we all would have hit 100+
  22. LibertyBell
    That makes me think of the Back to the Future movie franchise in a whole different light......

    I love Nuclear Thorium power, its the cleanest and most efficient. The specific things I do blame the fossil fuel cartels on is 1) covering up research from the 70s (same things you can blame big tobacco and the sugar industry on, they're all guilty of covering up research) and 2) dumping pollutants mostly into underprivileged communities and third world countries and 3) paying off judges to get the results they want when people, states, nations sue them and of course 4) bribing politicians. But in that last case they are just gaming a political system that's already pretty dirty and full of dark money. The US isn't the only one this happens in either, it also happens in China and India and many European countries and even Canada with their dirty tar sand pipelines being sent through Native American communities. Some of these countries are actually going back to coal, which dumps far more radioactivity into the environment than Nuclear does!

    Brookhaven jack as usual lol
  25. LibertyBell
    omg that would cause insane amounts of flooding! 6+" in like 2 hours?!
