ProtoJeb21 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm surprised this thread is still going lol. Ida was really bad up here in New England. I didn't think much of it since it was a remnant system, but wow did Ida pack a punch. My town got 7-8 inches of rain and caused the worst flooding since Hurricane Irene in 2011. Thankfully, neither me nor anyone I knew lost power. The cause of Ida's devastating flooding was due to it interacting with a trough in just the right way to both enhance its rainfall and make it a potent tornado threat; without this interaction, Ida's remnants would've produced 2-3 inches maximum. Hurricane Sam from late September to early October was a very impressive "fish storm" - one that remains out to sea without impacting any landmass. On September 26th, Sam reached peak intensity, but a recon flight that would've been there in time was rescheduled to later in the day, and once it arrived the storm had begun weakening due to an Eyewall Replacement Cycle. Recon found a pressure of 929 millibars (mbar) when the eye had just collapsed, and the pressure rose exponentially (5mbar between passes 1 and 2, then 10mbar between passes 2 and 3). Backtracking to Sam's peak appearance a few hours prior, it probably peaked as a 160-165 mph Category 5 hurricane with a central pressure of 924-926 mbar. The heat content of the waters Sam was over were able to support a maximum intensity of 925 (+/-3) mbar, and using the KCZ pressure-wind relationship, the 924-926 mbar estimates would support 140-145 knots (160-165 mph). Dvorak presentation (as shown below) was classifiable as T#7.0, or 140 kt/160 mph. Sam would slowly recover from the EWRC and peak as a 150-155 mph high-end Category 4 several days later, and had a third and final peak before turning into a non-tropical cyclone in the far northern Atlantic. Sam maintained Category 4+ status for longer than all but a few Atlantic hurricanes in the last 50 years, and longer than any other storm this year.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Anyone ever been in a 'dry hurricane'? One of the weirdest things I've seen. Hurricane force (remnant) winds and not a cloud in the sky. https://www.wlky.com/article/8-year-anniversary-of-hurricane-ike-hitting-louisville/3869681 "Camped In" with my wife and new son as we were without power for 10 days. Thank God the plumbing still worked! Oddest part was how social my neighborhood was during the time - without TVs, everyone hung out outside. Reminds me of pictures of the 50s.

razark Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 "Dry" is just not a term I can associate with Ike. "Wading three blocks to get to my house while watching people kayaking down the street " just doesn't go with "dry". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 First it was a summer of "heat domes," then transitioning into an atmospheric river coming through, and now a second, bigger "bomb" cyclone (a deep, steep, atmospheric depression; this one is a record low) slowly approaching the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver Island is about to get a heavy lashing (the surf is already getting heavy at Tofino), but fortunately I think I'm far enough up the Fraser Valley to avoid the worst of it. The real fun is out in the Juan de Fuca Strait / Salish Sea. A container ship lost forty containers overboard in the rough seas during the first cyclone, and a container still aboard believed to contain mining supplies has caught fire. And this ship is stuck in the path of the storm. This will be... interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Two-day total of rain in the Fraser Valley: 220mm. The rain has stopped, but the the border-crossing Sumas River and the Nooksack River in Washington State are overflowing into Sumas Prairie. Which now resembles its former name from 100 years ago, Sumas Lake This is the highway that I usually take to work, this morning: Needless to say, no work today, because I don't drive a hovercraft.

StrandedonEarth Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Aerial view of the overpass that last pic was taken from (not by me). Circled is Castle Fun Park. Mini-golf is one big water hazard now... Like, wow.... Roads and rail are cut off. How long until the supermarkets are empty? And I wonder how much damage has been done to the highway....

StrandedonEarth Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Not unexpected, that's why I gassed up this morning. I was surprised they hadn't jacked the prices, TBH. But I didn't expect them to run dry this soon... :jawdrop: Edited November 17, 2021 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
