Dianmu Advisories

[Anonymous]

Yeah, but it is stalled. It might make 190 mph or even 200 mph.

Yes, here at Storm2k, we will all be on top of it.

I wouldn't wish Dianmu or any storm like that on anyone.

AMEN!!! Presuming your signature means you truly experienced the worst of Andrew then you know what it is like to go through a monster. I have been through several hurricanes including Camille and Alicia as well as too many TS to remember. I am always thrilled by these wonders of nature, but NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS WOULD I WISH ONE ON MY WORST ENEMY!!!

we all talk about how interesting these storms are...but WHAT IF...lets say, a 190 mph hurricane was headed straight towards you for a direct hit...WOULD YOU STAY?

Personally, I will stay put for a 3, and 4 depending on how close it is comming...but you send a 5 my way, and I am heading for the hills.

No VB, I didn't experience Hurricane Andrew, it's just my name (though more people call me just Andy)....I've always lived in Michigan, too far away to even get a hurricane (except for maybe the remnants of one). It was, however, the storm that made me interested in hurricanes. Just thought I'd clear that up.

At the time, I was 8 years old and thought it was cool to have a major hurricane with my name. However, I feel for all the people who lost their homes, belongings, etc., and I hope that Dianmu stays away from land and dies out.

FROM ACCUWEATHER: WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Super typhoon Dianmu with maximum sustained winds of 175 mph continues to move to the west-northwest. The wind speeds and eye structure of Dianmu are impressive. However, the sheer size of the super typhoon is just as impressive. In fact, the cloud structure around the the storm is similar to the size of Florida. If you factor in the inflow and outflow around the periphery of the storm, it is three times the size of Florida.


Dianmu will turn more to the north over the weekend and weaken slowly. AccuWeather.com expects Dianmu to threaten southern Japan early Sunday.

MASSIVE

It appears Dianmu did an eyewall replacement this afternoon/early evening; you could even see the second eyewall in visible, which you usually don't. It's most obvious in the SSMI stuff on NRL. Take a look........

Which probably means that today it has been preparing itself for a second intensification term. Interesting!!!

I would probably stay for a 1 depending on direction and forward speed. Slow means too much rain with resulting flooding and right up the Mississippi River means big trouble. I would not stay for any higher strength though. The New Orleans area is too vunerable and it would just be a big mess and dangerous. Before I had my grandson I might have stayed put for a 2 or 3 but not now.

That is a tough one for a chaser like myself. I live 50 miles off the coast. With a Cat5 coming into our area moving NW, landfall anywhere from Galveston West would devastate the entire Houston Metro area. Cat4/Cat5 winds around 155 mph and higher gusts would more than likely reach at least to I-10(2 miles South of my house) if a 190 mph storm were headed this way. During Alicia we had measured sustained at 75-80 mph in my area and gusts to 94mph I believe, and she was a low end Cat3 at landfall. My family will always come first and I would definitely pack them off to somewhere North of here if there were time to do it. I would probably stay, but would look for a very strong concrete building with available outside views(safe of course) as opposed to staying at my home. To stay in a "normal" structure during that kind of wind is basically suicide. There is really so much to consider in this situation, at least in my case, but the short and simple I would tell anyone other than myself is GET THE HELL OUT EARLY!!! Just think of a HUGE MILES WIDE TORNADO bearing down on you and you will understand why..

[Opal storm]

Over there they get all the good stuff Looks like there could be gusts to 190mph.

That is nothing to laugh about when that kind of monster with winds above 180 mph goes to any place in the world.

Oh,sorry...is this better

Yes I feel bad for the people in the path of this and I hope they've prepared,I was just pointing out that they always get the big mean looking tropical cyclones like that.
