Oh man, our IT guy had a fit when I told him I had that on my computer (at home) ... not only spyware, but it sucks up major memory. And that cricket is annoying.
yeah, but my son's elementary school is one of it's location, so I REALLY get local weather.

Ranks number 1 as the most intense tropical cyclone on record. Tip was located in the northwest Pacific Ocean, which on October 12, 1979 had winds gusting as high as 190 mph (306 km/h) and a central pressure of 870 mb (25.69"Hg). The size of the circulation around Typhoon Tip was approximately 1350 miles (2174 km) across. If placed over the continental U.S., it would almost cover the western half of the country.

(On that map, I am guessing the little circle in mid Texas is Tracy. Small compared to Tip.
Cyclone Tracy
It was Christmas Day, 1974, in Darwin, Australia, and Cyclone Tracy was about to make landfall.
Cyclone Tracy began as a weak tropical low about 450 miles northeast of Darwin. Moving slowly to the southwest, it was classified as a cyclone late on December 21, at the start of the hurricane season in the Southern Hemisphere.
As Tracy came around Bathurst Island, northwest of the Australia, satellite imagery showed a rapid intensification when the storm moved across warm ocean water in the Beagle Gulf. Tracy then changed course and headed in a beeline for Darwin, Australia.
Tracy moved slowly onto land, about five miles per hour, causing great devastation due to its lingering pace. Strong winds, gusting up to 135 miles per hour, ravaged Darwin for at least five hours. The tropical cyclone's small, tight eye passed directly over the city.
The city of Darwin was almost completely leveled and had to be rebuilt. Tracy killed 50 residents of Darwin and fifteen people were lost at sea.

No lie, that thing is the devil. S y, I don't care if your kid is getting royalties off of that thing, you need to uninstall it.Oh man, our IT guy had a fit when I told him I had that on my computer (at home) ... not only spyware, but it sucks up major memory. And that cricket is annoying.
Weather Bug is to smooth computer performance what concrete blocks on your feet are to swimming.
You got AHF talking in metaphors. Nice.
Hence, the WTF.
Of course the wind speed in a tornado is much higher than any typhoon.
and SAT-type analogies.
You got AHF talking in metaphors. Nice.
Yeah, but hurricanes are much bigger. Cause more damage, are more deadlier, can WIPE OUT CITIES.
A tornadoes can only really wipe our your neighborhood. The Hickbottom Trailor Park.
I am to uber rich as Bill gates is to semi poor. That is a good metaphor.
Not nessecarily. Only F4 and F5 Tornados have winds stronger than a catagory 5 hurricane or a super typhoon.
Okay, Aggie. I removed it just for you. It's still on the kids' computer, but there computer is always full of spyware anyway...lol
Spyware...EWWWWW. I think the FCC or whatever is regulating internet downloads should spend less time cracking down on piracy and spend more time getting rid of all these companies uploading their programs onto your computer without your consent.

Pressure down to 904.
Son of a , if this continues, she may become the strongest Atlantic storm of all time.
I'm on my way home. Won't be suprised if this storm is under 900 by the time I get there.
This thing is making my stomach turn.
I wake up to 904mb, good lord! If she keeps this up she could possibly break Hurricane Gilbert's record of 888mb!
I remember Gilbert....we got the rain up here and played football in it. That was fun. We were teenagers...and yes a little stupid!
Anyone know how high the sea wall at Galveston is?
What level of wind speed are we looking at in San Antonio de Bexar?
