Storm Names with bad vibes...

The following post is NOT an official forecast and should not be used as such. It is just the opinion of the poster and may or may not be backed by sound meteorological data. It is NOT endorsed by any professional institution including storm2k.org For Official Information please refer to the NHC and NWS products.

I'm going with these four being the worst of the rest and make landfall, and for fun I'll slap some numbers on them too (forgive me, I truly do hope nothing horribly bad happens):

Irene - Category 4/ 145mph
Katrina - Category 3/130mph
Ophelia - Category 4/140mph
Stan - Category 5/160mph

As for where they go...who knows. I know I'm over-guessing and when they're all fish I'll just laugh.

Harvey - sounds like fish, barely reaches hurricane category

Irene - this sounds like a Florida hurricane, not sure about the intensity... probably Cat. 2 or weak 3

Jose - this sounds like a Caribeean TS... brushes the VI and PR and goes north.

Katrina - this sounds of a very strong fish, probably Cat. 4. it will threaten Bermuda but no hit.

Lee - this sounds like a Texas TS or minimal hurricane

Maria - sounds like a Caribbean Cat. 2 that gets trounced by Hispaniola

Nate - extremely weak, disorganized TS in the open sea that refuses to dissipate in the open sea (outlives Ophelia and Phillippe)

Ophelia - weak and slow TS, into Hispaniola

Phillippe - this sounds like a Bermuda hurricane... or it could also reach Canada as a Cat. 1

Rita - Long lived Cat. 1 Fish, the Kate or Lisa of 2005.

Stan - weak TS that dies fast

I don't think the season will go beyond Stan but... if it does...

Tammy - sounds like a TS into NE Mexico

Vince - sounds like a Cat. 3 that scares the hell out of everyone in the Gulf but weakens unexpectedly and arrives at FL as a weak Cat. 1.

Wilma - sounds like one of those Allison-type TS... hope it doesn't form

Alpha, Beta, and all the greek letters sound like Cat. 5's.

All Cat. 5's! Well, that'd make for some fun but also the destructive part. Let's hope your wrong.

Well, I don't even think we'll see a TS or H. Alpha this year. But the names do sound kind of "aggressive".

(BTW, I've seen Alpha as a female name... much more common than Gert, at least )

[WindRunner]

I'd go for Katrina, Rita, and Alpha (last storm of the season), with Rita being between 155 and 170 mph.

My vote for a formidable name for a storm is Irene. I have an aunt by that name. She (God love her) always blows into town and manages to upset everyone's household. I'm afraid her namesake storm might do the same!

Hey HurricaneHink where you In Jersey for Floyd?

Yea, and all I got was a passing shower and some winds (joking, but we were on the boardwalk experiencing the gusts). Nor'easters are worse than Floyd was. Isabel was worse, but still not much. Nice write up in the US Weather forum. Where in NJ are you?

[Jim Cantore]

Burlington

We got 60mph gusts from Floyd

I was in Avalon for Isabel Gusts over 55mph

When Tropical Storm Charley passed by last year not even 10mph

[wxwatcher91]

I'm up in Keene, NH

Floyd we got 5 inches of rain from in 6 hours. I have a brook about 100 yards from my house. the evening before Floyd hit it, the brook was average hight and the sky was partly cloudy. the next morning, the sky was party cloudy but the brook was up to the house and the basement floor was under an inch of water.
wind-wise we got a bit... one old tree down... I was 8 so I didnt record anything besides the rain lol

Bonnie hit us last year and although the NHC and NWS kept saying Charley would be a lot worse, Bonnie gave us 2 inches of rain and wind gusts to 40mph while here in Keene we were COMPLETELY dry when Charley came through... all the rain went to our east... I remember hearing of numerous roads closed in RI from Charley

the only one to me is earl. but if i meet some one named andrew i'm going to hate him for a while. even though hurricane andrew happened less then 2 months before my birth day the two people that I know of that are named andrew I DON'T GET ALONG WITH. That is really weird to me.


EDIT: it would be really cool to have a hurricane named after me at leas a TS of course and my chance is next year. But my name starts with a W so to me it is highly unlikely

[Jim Cantore]

The funny thing about Floyd was when I was 4 I had a rabbit

it's name.. you guessed it FLOYD!

[Gorky]

Well, I'm a Nathan, so if Nate is anything like me, it will be a large powerful, but aimless hurricane which just circles around the mid-Atlantic trying to decide where to go. I'm pretty indecisive so my namesake storm should be too If it does make landfall, it will either be Central Florida, Boston or Maine as those are the only areas of the US I've visited.

Dennis and Stan give me strange vibes.

Wow....on September 30, 2004 I said Dennis gave me a strange vibe--and I was right. Hmmm.

I wonder if we'll make it to Stan (I suspect we will at the rate we've been going)??

[Ivanhater]

omg, out of 3 cat 5s that hit the us, do you really think one hit the northeast??

lol sorry that was my bad

[Jim Cantore]

Irene gives me a bad feeling

[bevgo]

Katrina

[Radar]

Maria is the one for me that really scares the pants off me.

I have a sister named Maria and she really beat me up alot when I was a kid. So I will predict Hurricane Maria will be a large Cat 4 storm....

Irene gives me a bad feeling

yeah same here... the "I" storm is always the big cat 5
