A New Record

[tndefender]

A new record....TWC just announced that Emily at 155 mph is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the month of July for the Atlantic Basin.

[baitism]

If you would have told me that record would be beaten, and then beaten again by successive storms I never would have believed it.

Yep, the strongest cane ever for July. Its unbelieveable.

BTW, nice to see another Memphis area member around!

Maybe the storm that takes Gilbert over its leg. Maybe a storm of 200 mph 860 millibars...Just think what could happen.

Dennis still hold the record

it is pressure that determines those stats, plus, Dennis almost certainly was 135KT as well

[canegrl04]

You know,I am beginning to believe we will see a 170mph plus hurricane by August or September

Right. Emily isn't the strongest hurricane (that is based on pressure), but it holds (or ties, depending on Dennis) the record for windiest Atlantic storm in July.

And its only got 7MB to go for the tie, 8 for the win.

So do you think Emily could pack in a little more punch and go for the win?

Sure...why not? It seems to care not about records or climatology or anything.

I'm thinking this crap has got to stop sometime. July 18 would be a good day. This can't go on all summer, can it? What are the chances of seeing..say..5 storms in each August and September? Impossible! It's like being under attack!

How about a nice fish to plot? [/quote]

Well Im not sure if it is totally impossible to have 5 named storms in each Aug and Sept. Remember last year we had like 7 named storms in Aug and 5 named storms in Sept. But ofcourse I do not expect that same type of activity this year but like you said who knows what can happen. Your right it would be a great time for the tropics to just cut out the nonesense. This way I can actually go more often to South Beach and just chill out which is something I havent done so far this hurricane season.

If you had said August, September or October, okay, I would have believed it before this season started.

I hope this does not portend what I fear it does for August and September.

Currently we may get a break as the MJO is about to make conditions unfavorable over the atlantic for the next couple of weeks but then the favorabilty could increase again right around the peak of the hurricane season. If this happen then it would be a very bad thing for all of us...

Which I could definately see happening within the next 6 hours.

I found this on another site:

"i can put you at ease you dont have to worry about emily hitting anywhere in mexico...the changes in the atmosphere have begun with that strengthing trough over eastern texas which is weakening the high pressure system that will allow emily to turn more nw...the computer models next few runs should show a dramatic switch to the north..i dont think the models realized how strong this trough would be and it would be there that long over eastern texas..there is a weather phen in the midwest also influencing this trough over eatern texas...this storm will miss the yucatan but will come very close like 40 miles south of the caymans...it will continue through the channel and enter the southern gulf posing a threat to the upper texas and la coasts sometime on tuesday...a watch will go up monday afternoon for potions of the nw and central gulf coasts...i hope i put your mind at ease."

how likley is it to happen?

Hopefully not, because I'm barely paying any attention to Emily. The first thing I did after Poker last friday night was come and check Dennis reports. The first thing I did when I woke up Saturday morning was come check Dennis reports... hell I stayed on storm2k all week! For this storm I've pretty much taken my storm2k vacation. I played poker... did all the same stuff minus ole emily lol. I don't want to have to worry about Emily, so I just stay away from it all. Maybe she's getting mad?

Much less likely than Emily hitting where the NHC is plotting. Remember, anyone could say anything on the 'net.....
