Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
Its a shame this side of the world doesnt have a more sophisticated recon system, because i would think this storm would have put out some TRULY historic and ground breaking numbers. Not because i want to see the devastation and destruction, but because storms of this magnitude and rarity offer a glimpse into the science of things that could be missed in other storms. What better storm to observe than the strongest ever recorded in modern times!
That being said, with all of the comparative analysis to tip, wilma, etc.......this storm HAD to be at least in the 870's, if not lower than Tip, and sustained had to be over 200 around the eyewall. Its structure and ferocity is just unmatched at its peak

I should be more clear. I meant how does this storm compare to Wilma and Rick microwave/infared wise? Like when Wxman compared it to Katrina.

Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
The climatological tropopause temperature in the Atlantic is about -76°C which is 8°C warmer than West Pacific. This made more difficult for convection to produce very cloud tops here than the environment Haiyan was located. It may not be conclusive to judge intensity difference by consider IR imagery alone.
Anyhow, the only Atlantic hurricane ever compareble to Haiyan in terms of satellite presentation is Hurricane Gilbert with an offical T8.0

This is when Rick has its best look, extremely spectacular storm but just not at Haiyan's level

Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
I wonder if this will be upgraded to 200 mph in post-analysis.

The sun has risen in the Philippines. We should learn more about the fate of the hardest-hit areas today as helicopter surveys are underway.

Re: WPAC: HAIYAN - Typhoon
Typhoon Haiyan must be about 300 km SW of Manila, but we are still getting some nasty gusts up to this time here.
Wunderground is giving gusts reaching 70kph!
03:49am 23.3 °C 18.2°C 1004.3hPa NE 61.1km/h 73.4km/h
Quite a huge windfield...
Saw the first pictures out of our hometown, Ormoc. And I am a loss for words.

Praying for you all!!! It's absolutely terrifying. Those winds can still do damage even with what you are getting now. It is a very large storm too now, so even some of the outer provinces may have significant damage.

If you can check the video out of this page of the GMA Network, even if you cant understand the Tagalog, no words can describe the sight.

Thelma in 1991 caused a flashflood, destroyed homes with the flood and muck was everywhere after.
But not like this, no structure was not damaged. Based on the pictures I saw. Trees were debarked, coconut trees split like matchsticks... Twisted metal billboards like chicken wire...
I saw a post in the Ormoc City, Leyte community facebook page saying... "like in 1991, Ormoc shall rise again". Such resiliency.
