Ike

[RashoFan]

I would like to introduce TS IKE. He may be stopping in the GOM in a week from now...

[Trainwreck2100]

He'll be a pansy like his cousin Gustav

So you were hoping for mass death and destructioin?

No, but Gustav was a wuss hurricane. All hype.

[nsrammstein]

No, but Gustav was a wuss hurricane. All hype.

So would you have been happy if it would have turned into the strongest hurricane in modern recorded meteorologic history and struck New Orleans?

That would have been awesome, but i wouldn't have been happy.

Tell that to Cuba. No really, be a little more insensitive. "Well, the cat 4 didn't hit the U.S., so who cares about those other people that had to deal with it?"

[dirk4mvp]

maybe i don't know how all this hurricane stuff works or keep up with it, but where was H?

Do you even look at the other threads?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

The models have him either getting in the gulf, hooking north, making landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi and rolling on the river or turning radically south to beat the out of ArgenTINA.

[RashoFan]

I vote that all the rest of the hurricanes be women's names, since they seem to change their minds(figuratively speaking)every few hours....

[cherylsteele]

Hurricane Hannah, it is currently just off the Bahamas

[GuerillaBlack]

Ike will most likely enter the Gulf, where it has to hit something. It remains to be seen if it will hit Florida straight on before doing that though.

[Ginofan]

It looks like Ike is racing across the Atlantic! At a CAT 3 already, does anyone think that Ike could destroy Hanna's lazy ass?

You're not Manny, come up with your own ...

[nsrammstein]

maybe Ike will eat Hannah and they will fuse together to form a super massive hyper hurricane the size of texas that will obliterate the entire gulf coast of Mexico & US resulting in widespread chaos and destruction that will eventually lead into a civil war where Mexicans will rule the US

Mexicans ruling the US....

On a serious note, without asking him, Dr. Masters answered my question about "combining" storms.

When hurricanes collide

I'm getting this question a lot--can hurricane collide to form a super hurricane? No, hurricanes cannot collide to make a bigger hurricane. When hurricanes get within about 900 miles of each, they begin to interact. There are three possible outcomes:

1) The larger storm will destroy the smaller one. The larger storm's upper-level outflow will bring hostile wind shear over the smaller storm, and the larger storm may steal the smaller storm's moisture. This occurred in 2005, when Hurricane Wilma destroyed Tropical Storm Alpha over Hispaniola.

2) Both hurricanes will compete for the same energy, resulting in weakening of both storms.

3) The storms will rotate around a common center of rotation (the Fujiwhara Effect), before going on their separate ways. Hurricane Humberto and Hurricane Iris took part in a brief Fujiwara interaction in 1995. Iris then began interacting with a third storm, Tropical Storm Karen, which orbited and later merged with the more intense Iris.

Sometimes, a recurving hurricane will leave behind an enhanced trough of low pressure that will act to help recurve the storm behind it along the same path. This is possible this week with Ike and Hanna.

Models are looking interesting for the Gulf...

[tlongII]

EVACUATE!!!

[RashoFan]

Bite me. There is no monoply on the weather threads.
Manny did the Gustav thread, Cry Havoc did the Hanna thread on someone else can start the TS/Hurricane Josephine thread...

[PM5K]

No, ma'am, I do not concur... and I do not recognize your authority to create hurricane related threads under Navy regulations.

Ike will be rollin' on the river!

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, and SFIE, because I came into this thread knowing that nobody else would have thought of making a Tina joke before me.

Looks like someone still hasn't figured out how to entertain himself in San Antonio.
