Tropical Cyclone Thread

The devastation of Florida is giving me a slight PTSD flashbacks from what happened on Tacloban with Typhoon Haiyan.

Damage cost I guessed would be more than around 50 billions.

Nicole was only just a subtropical cyclone couple of days ago.

Can’t believe this is turning into a hurricane before another Floridian landfall.

But hey this is only Cat 1 so I’m sure they’ll handle out this storm well right?

My predictions for the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season are:

There’s a tropical cyclone over the Indian Ocean right now that is still active since January 30th.

And it can live up for the next 3 more days.

The name is Cyclone Freddy.

Cyclone Freddy has officially surpassed the longest lived tropical cyclone record set by Hurricane John which lasted for 31 days.

Cyclone Freddy has now completely dissipated and just broke multiple world records.

It holds the longest-lasting tropical cyclone ever at 36 days, the highest Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) by a single storm at 84.6, and the most times undergoing rapid intensification at seven times.

Super Typhoon Mawar is now the strongest storm in the world this year so far.

It had already wasted Guam as a Cat 4 and now it’s heading straight for Northern Luzon.

Look how tremendously SHARP Mawar’s eye is. 😳

I will not be surprised if this would eventually level or surpass Haiyan’s power.

We’ve yet to begin the El niño.

Mawar is finally showing signs of decreasing trend as it maxed out 5 hours ago as a 185 MPH Cat 5 Super Typhoon. It will still remain as a Violent Typhoon for the next 3-4 days.

Looks like a whirlpool or a black hole in this satellite imagery. Now that’s the definitive Tropical Cyclone if I ever see one.

So we have yet another Super Typhoon in our hands.

It might hit Northern Luzon tomorrow night as a high end Cat 4 or Cat 5.

I feel like this years Hurricane Season in the Atlantic is going to be more active. Here are this year’s Atlantic Hurricane names.

@NitroFury
Here’s a fact…

If our basin (West Pacific) has a weak season (which I think will be thanks to the El Niño), then the Atlantic Basin is going to be hyperactive.

The 2005, 2010, 2017, and 2020 seasons from both location were all the evidence of this phenomenon.

Hurricanes starting with letter “I” has been notoriously being the one who brings the destruction in the US. (Irma, Ida, and Ian)

@NitroFury
Must refrain from making Nigel Thornberry hurricane meme…Must refrain from making Nigel Thornberry hurricane meme…Must refrain from making Nigel Thornberry hurricane meme…

Doksuri reminds me of Ian now.

Big storm, big eye, and slow moving.

Typhoon Doksuri stalled here in Northern Luzon for more than 12 hours so that’s why our internet connection has been fucking up from 8:00 PM to 7 in the morning.

The silver lining about this is our dam water level has risen significantly.

So we got a literal “Dora the Explorer” in the form of a hurricane.

She has just crossed the International Date Line and all three hurricane basins earlier and she is now on the Western territory of the Pacific.

I hope she lives long enough to visit the Philippines.

Hurricane Hillary in the Pacific is barreling towards Baja California and is expected to pour all over SoCal by this weekend.

SoCal for once gets to deal with what we Southerners deal with on an annual basis.

@SleepySteve

The 24 hour intensification looks impressive on the radar.

Seems the Atlantic has awoken from its slumber

@Shavkat Rakhmonov
El Nino ain’t fooling around this year. But once it reaches the cool Baja waters it’ll collapse just as fast.

@NitroFury
I hope Jacksonville or Miami gets pwned this year. I’d rather be in Detroit than those garbage dumpsters.

Interesting how Hilary hasn’t sparked the same kind of panic Sandy did when it plowed through New York.

Nobody seems to be treating it like a once-in-a-century storm even though tropical systems never hit SoCal.

Hilary’s projected path keeps shifting east.

Hopefully that means LA, Orange and Ventura won’t suffer the worst of it, but if you’re in Riverside or San Bernardino…yikes.
