Tropical Storm Irma - In Atlanta

[ExiledInIllinois]

 

Shear's supposed to be light at least until it passes the Leeward Islands. Don't know about after. The cold front moving south over the continent should keep it slightly south and west of forecast, though.

 

Personally...I think it's going to pass just north of Cuba, across the Keys into the Gulf, and hit the Florida panhandle around this time next week.

 

 

!@#$ that. I'm going to go to town on his ignorant ass like a Category 7 hurricane!

Great break down. I think it is hanging west around that high.

 

Before you go any further, be warned, you told me to NOT stop the stream of consciousness posts... LoL it gives "personality to the board." LoL... You were warned:

 

If it goes straight up the gut of the pennisula, may be better to break apart. Enough of this schit, where these things ride coast, skip over land and then in this case may ride up another coast. WTF, like hurricanes have a mind of its own?

 

Irma... Sounds like a crazy Spainsh lady also. Screw you, now I can't get this song outta my head (reference to the lady in song):

 

 

 

Oh... That thing with Pete... LoL...

Cat 4 is 130-156. Jesus, how the hell can you !@#$ up something so badly that is so widely known and easily verified? What are you reading, the back of a Cocoa Puffs box? http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php

 

He said knots and you're saying mph. His numbers still don't exactly match what's on your link, but that's at least part of the confusion here.

There is no confusion. There is no such thing as a Category 6 hurricane. Pete's retarded.

So wait, you're saying some guy can't just make up random categories on twitter? I thought that place was great for everything.

It reminds me of the lost Mars climate orbiter. Engineers failed to translate from english to metric

I looked recently and this is what it looks like they have it doing.

AS long as it stay above the 910-915 mbar. If the bottom drops out bend over and cry!

An F5 tornado max is 318mph. Oklahoma City in 1999 was 318 mph. Maybe with climate change and all, it's time to up the scales.

it is the second lowest millibar reading for it's eastern position, behind Gloria. And they say that is just one of many records Irma is gonna break

"Extrapolated from" means THERE IS NO SUCH THING, you unmitigated dolt.

...a Category 7 hurricane!

[DC Tom]

 

Of course...on the "Pulled out of my ass fictitious Extrapolated Safir-Simpson" scale...

Hey it happens sometimes... :-/

 

That .15 mph (w/regard to the knots argument) can add up... ;-)

I just needed an excuse for that gif, it kills me.

The Irma hits just keep on coming, with the NHC Atlantic Ops twitter page reporting moments ago that as of this moment, Irma is now the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin outside of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico in NHC records.

Gee, not six hours ago you were saying "strongest ever" as a "Category 6."

 

Any other reports about this storm you want to !@#$ up?

You'll no doubt be happy to know that I tweeted a correction to that ignorant twit.

Only three Category 5 hurricanes have hit the contiguous 48 U.S. states, Henson told Bloomberg. The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 that devastated the Florida Keys, Hurricane Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Andrew that cut across Florida in 1992. Andrew was originally classified as a Category 4 storm only to be upgraded years later after further analysis.

“It is obviously a rare breed,” Henson said. “We are in rare territory.”

Except on the Extrapolated Safir-Simpson scale, Andrew was a Category 7.

 

You are so full of ****.

[Augie]

I don't care what category you want to call it - I just read maximum sustained winds of 185 mph. We rode out almost every hurricane that came our way, but this this looks like get the heck out of Dodge stuff. YIKES!

 

As Ron White says, "it's not THAT the wind is blowing, it is WHAT the winds is blowing".

Not so much that they failed to convert English to Metric as some parts of the team were using English for their piece and others was using Metric
