sherpa Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It's not a hurricane. Low pressure systems meander all around, and are driven by other pressure systems and the jet stream. Hurricanes typically start from the west coast of Africa, drift southwest into the Carib, gain their strength and move NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterbluesky Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I've been around the world and I still don't know the difference between a hurricane compared to a typhoon...I don't think there is one. Regarding this storm,unlike the Katrina event..this one is looking like it's going to cause massive water damage to the FQ and the Garden District..sad but sooner or later ..this was going to happen. rester en securite cajuns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It isn't complicated. In the north, wind flows counterclockwise around a low. Names are based on where they occur, but they are the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Most OF THESE cyclones (cyclone is just a low) form in tropics. They are tropical and go extratropical crossing over the Tropics of Cancer (& Capricorn). I take that this one just formed @ higher mid-latitude. It's an extratropical storm that forming. Like many that form high in the Gulf. No different than say a blizzard or snowstorm, Noreaster (double barrel lows up east coast). It's just extratropical turning into a hurricane. It is kinda strange since we expect the low to form in the tropics/low latitudes. 7 hours ago, Boca BIlls said: It has to do with where it was formed in the world. They have 3 names for it depending on where it took power. Hurricanes, Cyclones, Typhoons. They are all cyclones. They are just named where they get formed in what part of the world's tropics. Hurricanes=W.Hemi. Typhoon=cross the date line. Tropical cyclones=Indian Ocean. Edited July 11, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he's out of the probability become. As it gets nearer to the edges of the predicted cone, the % goes down. Even since Katrina, those cones that they put on the maps have become more and more accurate! Watch where this thing tracks. Save the old maps, they are almost spot on now! But... THEN again.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 EDIT: FWIW...

US Egg Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The worst Hurricane of any season was the one that hit Buffalo in May 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 When the tornado touched down the other day it was 2 blocks from my house!! The dog and I spent about 30 minutes in the bathroom on the floor when we heard where it was. At any rate, I have the generator ready and we will see what happens. My house is pretty elevated so I highly doubt I will take on any water. It’s going to be more about the flooding and people being stuck. Just saw one report that said we may see 25 inches of rain in some spots!! That was from the head of the National Weather Service. That would be insane. It looks like it’s going to be slow moving like Isaac was. It is just going to sit over us and dump rain for the next few days. Just hoping that it all works out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stores have been wiped out but I’m beyond prepared. I have anything and everything that I could possibly need. I do have A LOT of booze now too.
