Time for a worked example. Let's see if we can find a storm that hit
high on the SF scale and a phase similar to today's:

1st. December 2007 Second (or Last) Quarter 12:44.
So we want a phase at about quarter to one am or pm. How about last
July/August:
30th July 2007. Full Moon 00:48.
Then there was 11th September 12:44 that was bang on only nearer an
equinox than a solstice (not that I know what difference that makes.)

See also 28th February, last year; 2nd April and 16th November 2005;

30th July to 5th August 2007. (7/30 - 8/5 in American. Splendid
resources, ghastly calendar.)

11th to 19th.September 2007. (9/11 - 19.)

YAGI 17th to 24th Category 5 NWPacific.

HELENE 12th to 24th Category 3 Atlantic.

04A-06 21st to 22nd. Tropical Storm N Indian.

GORDON 10th to 20th. Category 3. Atlantic

The time of this spell is a wet one. It will also produce or tend to
produce hurricanes in the North Atlantic Season. But with a strong set
of tropical cyclones running through it it will produce weather
similar to that which we had in the middle of last September; which if
my calculations are correct thundery with a touch of the tornadic.

Unfortunately I can't remember the weather that far back, so I have to
throw myself on the Kommittee to preserve the status quo:
