this hurricane could f us up

[Florida123]

it is a category 5 right now, and while it is expected to weaken a little, it should pack quite a punch when it hits south florida

hopefully, wilma will cancel school but not do any real damage:thumb:

 

[critikaldesignz]

what's with all the hurricanes this year?

 

[KAMIKAZI]

what's with all the hurricanes this year?

Every 80 years this happens, this will go on for another 80 years and then hurricanes will die out for 80 years and so on.

 

[Humorraz]

Damn, i hope it dont kill anyone.

lmao, no. There's a lot to factor in when it comes to explaining hurricanes.


But yeah, it's heavy this year. Wilma is looking to fuck up Yucatan by the looks of it

 

[yak pac fatal]

the world is really fucked up this year

 

[Maverick]

its supposed to turn and hit mexico, atleast thats what the news is saying, im just glad i dont have to go to school friday...

That's what my geograpy teacher said, it's a continuous cycle.

 

[Jeremy]

Damn, that is taking a wicked turn. Be safe!

 

[S O F I]

Bummer. I suggest you run.

 

[Freedom Froggy]

Global Warming

 

[PuffnScruff]

i feel ya on this one. i just moved to orange county florida yesterday. not even a week here and i'm going to experience my first hurricane. but i dont think it will hit orlando that bad

 

[CoolWaterz]

and i was gonna book my flight to Miami this weekend and chill in south beach all of next week. SONOFABITCH!

 

[PuffnScruff]

it's a 4 now. maybe it will down grade to a tropical storm before it gets to florida

 

[PELLA]

the world is really fucked up this year

ya i agree witchu on that.

 

[Vaudeville]

hopefully this shit will get down to just a storm. My dad is in Cancun and they are evacuating all the islands around there! fuck

 

[yurdady1]

the world is gonna end!!!, what's next? well the anti-christ is coming he's gonna rule us 4 some years and i'm gonna kill the fucker then we'll be saved! and no more hurricanes... or i guess we can just evacuate florida better than we did LA, and call it a day...

 

[Duke]

That's what my geograpy teacher said, it's a continuous cycle.

Your geo teacher is on some serious medication if he/she claims it's a 80 year cycle.

Do a sizzearch on Google.

its the global warming, the ocean gets warmer and its propicious to get a lot o strong storms and hurricanes.
Here in Brazil, where I live, in the south we´ve never had anything like a hurricane ever, and the last 2 years we had 2, level 3 max.
The ocean is crazy too on the Brazilian coast, big waves and shit, but the most fucked up thing is that theres no Rain in the Amazon Forest (that happens to be the Rain Forest) and the amazon river is on his lower level since the 40´s i guess, where people used to use boats, like 15feet, theyre using Tractors, all the fishes are dying .
The experts says that the Hurricanes on the Gulf of Mexico this year are afecting the whole Climate and the biosfere around.

Its the world responding to human actions, giant earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, lack of rain, melting the polar Ice, drying lakes and rivers... the sad thing is that the nature is just starting....

Basically, no. It's a popular myth these days that global warming causes all kinds of freaky natural disasters.

At the end of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season, many scientists, reporters and policymakers looked for simple answers to explain the extent of the devastation, which totaled more than $40 billion according to the National Hurricane Center. Some prominent scientists proposed that the intense 2004 hurricane season and its considerable impacts, particularly in Florida, could be linked to global warming resulting from the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (e.g., Harvard Medical School 2004; NCAR 2004). But the current state of climate science does not support so close a linkage.

Tropical cyclones can be thought of to a first approximation as a natural heat engine or Carnot cycle (Emanuel 1987). From this perspective global warming can theoretically influence the maximum potential intensity of tropical cyclones through alterations of the surface energy flux and/or the upper-level cold exhaust (Emanuel 1987, Lighthill et al. 1994, Henderson-Sellers et al. 1998). But no theoretical basis yet exists for projecting changes in tropical cyclone frequency, though empirical studies do provide some guidance as to the necessary thermodynamical and dynamical ingredients for tropical cyclogenesis (Gray 1968, 1979).

Since 1995 there has been an increase in the frequency and in particular the intensity of hurricanes in the Atlantic.. But the changes of the past decade are not so large as to clearly indicate that anything is going on other than the multi-decadal variability that has been well documented since at least 1900 (Gray et al. 1997; Landsea et al. 1999; Goldenberg et al. 2001). Consequently, in the absence of large or unprecedented trends, any effect of greenhouse gases on the behavior of hurricanes is necessarily very difficult to detect in the context of this documented variability. Perspectives on hurricanes are no doubt shaped by recent history, with relatively few major hurricanes observed in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s, compared with considerable activity during the 1940s, 50s and early 60s. The period from 1944 to 1950 was particularly active for Florida. During that period eleven hurricanes hit the state, at least one per year, resulting in the equivalent of billions of dollars in damage in each of those years (Pielke and Landsea 1998).

Globally there has been no increase in tropical cyclone frequency over at least the past several decades (Lander and Guard 1998; Elsner and Kocher 2000). In addition to a lack of theory for future changes in storm frequencies, the few global modeling results are contradictory (Henderson-Sellers et al 1998; IPCC 2001). Because historical and observational data on hurricanes and tropical cyclones are relatively robust, it is clear that storm frequency has not tracked recent tropical climate trends. Research on possible future changes in hurricane frequency due to global warming is ambiguous, with most studies suggesting that future changes will be regionally-dependent, and showing a lack of consistency in projecting an increase or decrease in the total global number of storms (Henderson-Sellers et al. 1998, Royer et al. 1998; Sugi et al. 2002). These studies give such contradictory results as to suggest that the state of understanding of tropical cyclogenesis provides too poor a foundation to base any projections about the future. While there is always some degree of uncertainty about the future and model-based results are often fickle, the state of current understanding is such that we should expect hurricanes frequencies in the future to have a great deal of year-to-year and decade-todecade variation as has been observed over the past decades and longer.
