ATL: JULIA - Ex-TC - Discussion

[warmer]

Julia is BEING eaten by Igor now, she's getting smaller and smaller while Igor is growing

[expat2carib]

Oh ju.....ju....Julia. You have been such a nice lady to know. Showed the world your power. Decided to go out fishing while your big brother was stealing the show.

You didn't hurt anybody! You beauty!

Now you go under without a cry. Your big brother is taking you down.

Rest in peace......Dear Julia

[brunota2003]

I would laugh if, by Igor eating her (or trying to), it actually killed him. Thanks for the show, though, Julia! It was nice knowing you while it lasted!

Well correct me if i'm wrong, but Julia did break or help break some records at least didn't she?

For one I believe She was the easternmost Category 4 hurricane ever on record in the Atlantic basin

Then I believe it was only the Second time in a hundred years that we had two Category 4 hurricanes in the Atlantic at the same time. (Julia and Igor)

Also its only happened 3 times in the last 60 years where we had 2 Majors (Cat 3 or higher) in the Atlantic at the same time.

So in my book I count Julia as an AWESOME hurricane. Was fun to track, broke records, out did the models, and didn't threaten a person. Julia Gulia is alright in my book

[hurricaneCW]

She's not dead yet, in fact she's looking better than before. She has a nice eye will colder cloud tops than before wrapping around it. I think she's stronger than initiated, so it will be interested if the NHC increases her intensity if she keeps this up.

[warmer]

Good night, Julia,

Hope to see you tomorrow

[canes101]

hurricaneCW she is holding her own no doubt.. But i woldn't expect her to get any further then the current Cat 1 status

[BigA]

This will be interesting if Julia gets eaten. Usually the eaten storm is below hurricane strength, but there is such a huge size disparity.

[warmer]

what's my future, "?"

[Macrocane]

LOL I haven't noticed it but you're right she looks like a ? mark

[Epsilon_Fan]

what's my future, "?"

she looks a bit scared... I guess she'll close her eye before she takes the plunge. This is probably how we should remember her as she'll be torn up by tomorrow

[canes101]

She is getting warmer and warmer... So is it Igor doing her in? Or is it other factors?



I assume its got to be Igor.. You can see his extreme eastern outer bands right there on the Julia image

[canes101]

woops.. 4:15am est and her eye has just slipped away.. It may be back, but at the moment it is MIA on the AVN (image was saved and uploaded via ImageShack so image would not change)

Whats with the MOdels going haywire with Julia towards the ends of the runs here? Is that due to Igor interaction?

[Hurricanewatcher2007]

Chances are the only ineraction between Igor and Julia that will take place is Igor absorbing her. Julia doesn't stand a chance against Igor!

[canes101]

Poor girl no longer looks like a hurricane thats for sure... RIP...

[KWT]

Julia is smashing right into Igor's outer circulation and outflow, and so is getting sheared already and thats only going to get worse, will probably end up as just a secondary feature to Igor soon.

Also yeah Julia was cool, the way it bombed suddenly was pretty impressive!

[HURAKAN]

Shear is the name!

[warmer]

It's amazing to see Julia is still alive no matter how small she is, and igor is now shrinking too.
