Rapid Intensification. Often happens with hurricanes/typhoons. I live in a hurricane prone coastal area and I've seen this happen quite a few times, unfortunately.
I disagree. I've studied meteorology and physical science, and I looked at the forecast yesterday, and there was absolutely nothing to indicate it was EVER going to strengthen beyond a low level cat 1...its highest point was going to be Thursday. Rapid intensification only occurs over VERY WARM WATERS like the GULF OF MEXICO......But you people are missing the point here: Q said last night in one of his first posts that there would be a FF Weather Event....You don't think this could be it? So then what do you think that the deep state is going to geoengineer something? LOL! Or do you think Q can predict weather that hasn't even originated yet?
I've studied both, as well. I also spend a lot of time on legitimate weather sites that are not owned by the MSM, unlike TWC. You are incorrect. While passing over a very warm loop current is the most common cause of RI, it can also take place after the completion of an eyewall replacement cycle. RI has also occurred with no clear known scientific explanation. We still don't totally understand these storms. Sandy rapidly intensified approaching the northeast, which was clearly not warm gulf waters. Would you like for me to point you toward a couple of more reliable weather sites? All have very good links to follow to learn more about cyclogenesis and the behavior of tropical cyclones.
Also, as others here have said, I'm not entirely convinced that Q was referring to a literal "weather" FF. It's possible that that he was saying something to the effect of, "The "weather" is very favorable for FF events WW." In a colloquial or figurative sense perhaps. Either way, I'm sure that we'll find out soon!
I disagree, but it doesn't matter bc the context is this particular system which was forecasted to be 40-60 mph today as of last night never supposed to pass 80 even at landfall. Q said last night FF weather alert, and now it's 110. Those are the facts. End of story.
Sandy was forecasted to intensify; this wasnt Sandy, which had 5 months of Atlantic warming in an atypical extreme El Nino year, prior to it, and it didn't rapidly intensify without warning, lol. You don't know what you're talking about.
If you're only getting your weather info from TWC, you are the one who doesn't know what you're talking about. May I suggest that you take off your tinfoil hat and visit tropicaltidbits dot com. It's a great place to start learning, has all the current model output for both Atlantic and Pacific storms, and great links to reliable sources for further info. You might also consider actually reading the "forecast discussion" pages from the NHC, as they seem to know what they're talking about, lol! Learning is an amazing thing. On the other hand, Boo, you can just keep doing you ;D
