The official tropical weather thread 2017

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

BBC has a really nice clip here on the science of super-storms, amazing how hurricanes can start by something as simple as a girl playing in the sand.

[matr1x]

Bret was starter course. We need an irma

[shake d livin wake d dead]

It have ah next development after irma

[infinite_RPM]

It looks like Irma is passing along the edge of the itcz.. it will get plenty fuel from it..

[Gladiator]

Bret was starter course. We need an irma

We have a Rowley.... That is bad enough as it is

Tobago already devastated.....Trinidad heading there.

[aaron17]

Reminds me of we have a hulk scene from avengers

[matr1x]

Crosses fingers for direct path

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

why people wish a storm or hurricane would pass here is beyond me

anyway - while Irma is not predicted to pass the southern Caribbean, Irma is predicted to pack some really high winds

[randolphinshan]

Crosses fingers for direct path

Why wish that.Natural disasters are expensive and erode hard earned economic, infrastructural and developmenral gains and take years to recover from.
You have just shown how big a kant you are. Mods do the necessary and ban this fool. Asses are for the stable, not tuner.

[matr1x]

Excuse me?
First of all, if you have an issue with me, pm.

Second of all, wishes aren't real. Me wishing something will have zero impact on where a storm goes.

Third, why I said that? To wake up people, these disasters show the real quality of the government. There are hundreds who applied but never got relief.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

second system going north or dissipating soon

[matr1x]

It's veering. A system has to be much more south to realistically veer in our direction.

Some tuners haven't figured that out yet.

[Chimera]

Matrix hoping for a hurricane so he doh hadda go in standard 1 monday

[eekipoo]

I'd be surprised it irma veers south at all It's looks too far north. My guess is that it misses the whole caribbean

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Irma like she a feeling to touchdown nah..the next system has a 60% chance of development in 5 days...so we will see how that goes

[redmanjp]

^ NHC have it aiming right fuh we

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ NHC have it aiming right fuh we

That's not really aiming right for T&T. It's aiming for the mid Atlantic, where it goes from there we will have to see, but systems usually turn north as they strengthen in the mid Atlantic

[MaxPower]

The extreme killer would be if one hits guyana....imagine where it will veer....

For those who wish upon hurricanes, yall panzies feel its just going to be a heavy rain and lil flood...dont forget incompetent trinis build some of allyuh house, and it will blow the fak away...

That's what happen with Bret. Veer along the coast.

I built my home. Bret didn't even make it sniffle.

[MaxPower]

Eh?

No bai, bret was well north of Guyana.

Third, why I said that? To wake up people, these disasters show the real quality of the government. There are hundreds who applied but never got relief.

So you're wishing a disaster happens just to show up the government? Given our local situation with poor drainage and poor quality residential building stock, a direct hit from a hurricane would probably cause widespread damage, kill some people and leave even more persons suffering to recover. Even worse if it's a major (category 3 and above) hurricane like Irma.... the devastation would probably be catastrophic setting the country back some years. And you're wishing that this could happen just to reveal the faults with our government? Wtf!

[matr1x]

Well the pnm wish to send us to the good old days of 1962...Irma would do it.

Not just with our government. People throw garbage, and refuse into water ways, think they special and god is a trini. Mind you people polluting just like before Bret so no big loss apparently.

I don't wish anyone to die obviously, but with the lack of preparation, what do you think will happen?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

ah man tell me the other day...he house fully insured so anything could pass through trini....he a business

[brainchild]

Ppl don't realize how quickly things happen...hurricane hits, massive devastation, your house stands strong...others don't, you fully stocked...others aren't, all roads closed, airports closed, emergency services crippled. Someone realizes you seem pretty comfortable amidst the despair, they and others decide to come see what you have, you're not willing to share...you quickly realize they weren't asking.

Don't wish for disaster hoping it'll prove a point to some scunts in office, anything that affects the country affects everyone living here regardless of status.

[matr1x]

I follow the week stocking system. It's very effective and not hard to follow. I ramp it up if there is a system incoming.

I batten down the hatches and if I should have to deal with an incoming storm, I not unawares. Everyone is responsible for their own safety in a storm condition.

Sorry but sometimes people need to suck salt to learn. For years odpm and others run through disaster prepared for people. It's nobody fault if they can't heed

[Joshie23]

I believe in God yes, but that statement is not to open any argument about religion, however,
matr1x is right about wishes having no effect on the storms path. What is problematic about his statements however, is the desire (which is different from a wish, btw) to see a disaster of epic enough proportions hit our country, if only just to highlight the inefficiencies of the 'powers that be'. Yes, we lack preparedness, from Gov't come down, even the authorities/office whose namesake comes from preparedness, lack same. But look at the southern U.S. Houston, the 4th largest city in the US, under several FEET of water. Harvey is reported to be the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history -
preparedness can only carry you so far. So again, why a human being to desire other humans to experience a type of harm and discomfort that I wouldn't 'wish' on my worst enemy, is as Duane said, beyond me. You're good to go? Hurricane proof? Earthquake proof? Tsunami proof? Meteor proof? Good for you. Enlighten/encourage others on how to get there, otherwise, what was it the old people taught about having nothing good to say again? Then again, I'm rambling and humans will continue to human so..my chest burn is now null and void.

In other news, take a read guys. http://grist.org/article/hurricane-irma ... be-headed/
Irma is a dread one, but there is a possibility that the Azores High is weak and she just grazes the C'bean and heads back out to sea. If it is strong however, it'll push that bugger straight across the Northern C'bean and into the Gulf of Mexico and who knows where she'll end up after that.

Idk y people beating up matrix...freedom of speech....daz his opinion...
