sherpa Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Looks like a tough one. For anyone with a more than causal interest in weather, here is a link I used in my career, which shows winds at various altitudes around the world. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-103.58,13.13,302 I was primarily interested in the 250 hectopaschal chart, which was about 34,000', and the best indicator of the jetstream. In this case, it really points out the counterclockwise flow around this intense low. The default is surface winds, but you can change the altitude by selecting the "earth" thing at the bottom left, and then changing height, expressed in hPa. If you look at the 850 hPa option, (about 5000'), you can really see the energy it is pulling in. Additionally, you can zoom in and rotate the earth to anywhere you want. Pretty cool site, but it really shows this Harvey hurricane. Edited August 25, 2017 by sherpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It must be a terrifying thing to hit the road with whatever you can fit in your vehicle, including kids, pets...to sit in the traffic jam of a lifetime, hoping not to run out of gas, to go to who knows where. Here's hoping Harvey is not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's not a chick hurricane so it won't be that bad. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Why is this thread on PPP? Obsess much? Anything can be talked about here without offending anybody. Economic, political, environmental timebomb? Maybe fuel prices will go up, etc... Gonna hit the heart of the petrol-chem industrial complex. It's not a chick hurricane so it won't be that bad.

DC Tom Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Good thing it's hitting Texas. If this hit Central America like this, you'd see tens of thousands dead from mudslides. This is a biblical rainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 125 mile an hour wind! Wonder if my house could take that? At what speed does wind destroy houses? Depends how the house is built. Normal gable roof up north would be ruined... That's put hip and roofs in down there. Then there is the construction, hurricane straps, etc... 125 is getting up there. I wonder what this Will do to our shipping @ work... We get a lot of tonnage that moves between the BP refinery in Indiana in Lake Michigan and the Gulf Coast. This will put a crimp in the petro-chem push... Prices will surely rise. They gotta be shutting down and shuttering up. Will the effects be far reaching? Looks like Harvey just went category 4. They're predicting several feet of rain in the Austin area between now and Tuesday night. Wow... Stay safe. When is landfall? Okay, you probably in position to not reply... Try and stay dry and outta harms way.
