Ping!
52 degrees in Malden, MA. Last night I could see my breath.
It isn’t early this year. I don’t mean to be unpleasant here but,
THEY DID”T COUNT TROPICAL DEPRESSIONS AS STORMS RELATED TO HURRICANES UNTIL GLOBAL WARMING WAS INVENTED.DON”T BOTHER ME UNTIL YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL HURRICANE
25 years ago this would have been just another storm but now that they are counting storms and needing to come up with a certain amount of them to meet an agenda, anything with a stiff breeze is counted as a named storm.
Yeah, those 7-11 Burritos will do that to ya.
2. A tropical depression is not "a named storm."
3. I took the time to make sure you weren't on the hurricane ping list, and you shall remain off the list for all eternity. So let it be written, so shall it be done.
LOL!
Maybe if he is stuck on an island and the storm surge has isolated him in his home and he asks nicely, maybe you could let him back!
It’s headed out to sea into the North Atlantic.
I guess that tropical depression that hit the Texas coast in 1971 with rain so hard my dad had to pull off the road was just a figment of my 11-year-old imagination then.
Get lost.
Mindlessly spewing Co2 into the environment no less. Making a show of it. I can't wait until Obama slaps a tax on people like you, the cause of global warming.
Best to avoid getting stranded on islands during storm surge after being overly pugnacious toward fellow storm watchers.
And if you bother to open it, you'll see there were tropical depressions back then, long before global warming, that never became named storms.
And what was it’s NAME?
You really should educate yourself on tropical meterology before barging into FR hurricane threads.
Uh, if you spew nonsense, you're gonna get called on it. If you state an opinion and it's wrong, don't whine about it.
Tropical storms HAD numbers after them, Hurricanes were named! It hasn't been until the last fifteen years or so that they started naming tropical storms.
Wrong. From 1970:
1.1 Hurricane Alma
1.2 Tropical Storm Becky
1.3 Hurricane Celia
1.4 Tropical Storm Four
1.5 Tropical Storm Dorothy
1.6 Hurricane Ella
1.7 Tropical Storm Felice
1.8 Tropical Storm Greta
1.9 Hurricane Nine
1.10 Hurricane Ten
Some tropical storms were named, some were numbered - as were hurricanes. The shift away from numbering has more to do with improved ability to track systems in real-time instead of from ship reports that might not be available for systems well out to sea. Has nothing to do with attempts to portray global warming - the lead hurricane forecaster, Dr. Grey, is a prominent AGW skeptic.
I'm sorry, I won't ever post on your stupid hurricane post ever again.
Thank you for raising the IQ of this hurricane thread above stupid by leaving it.
Get your facts straight---unless you want to argue that 1968 is only in the last fifteen years or so:
1968 Hurricane Season
Hurricane Abby
Hurricane Brenda
Tropical Storm Candy
Hurricane Dolly
Tropical Depression Eleven
Tropical Depression Fourteen
Tropical Storm Edna
Subtropical Storm One
Tropical Storm Frances
Tropical Depression Eighteen
Hurricane Gladys
Tropical Depression Twenty-One
You are ALMOST right, and what think you are saying is true. It is SUB-Tropical storms that were not named or counted prior to around 2004. Tropical storms have been named once they graduate from tropical depressions for as long as I can remember.
