FUD.
Don't be put off by it in any of its forms. What is the worst that could happen? In 2004, the Boxing Day disaster that started with an earthquake at Banda Atjeh swept the Indian Ocean as far as Africa. 10 years before, a certain manager in the Indonesian Meteorological department was removed from office for making a mistake and issuing a Tsunami alert. Pity. However those that remained alert were able to take appropriate steps and save both themselves and their families. The odd thing was that those most at variance with the sophisticated academic vision of elementary geophysics fared better that those too wrapped up in their own cleverness to do anything about it. Meanwhile, for the next spell: April 20th to 28th the lunar phase occurs at 10:25. And that puts it into the same league as the spell for 14th to 21st Mar 10:46. So more of the same, which IIRC stated last time with a storm east of Australia. I believe that faded when an stronger one on the other side started. And all sorts of nasty things occurred in the south eastern states of the US&A. Look out for a large High confluence in the NE Pacific. It could extend to the North Pole but is likely to be cut through by a trough of low pressure. So... Here's to interesting times. And always remember: You are on your own. |

Here is one I prepared earlier: On Mar 14, 12:30 pm, Weatherlawyer wrote: On Mar 13, 11:11 pm, Weatherlawyer wrote: 14th to 21st March 2008. The time of the phase is 10:46. Which is similar to the last phase, in that it should provide anticyclonic weather. However things are not working out that way so far. So here we are 5 minutes into a new spell and things are looking exactly the same as they did at the start of the last: http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html I don't know what's going on over Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. There is nothing on this site to compare to the yellow squares on the above site: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa/ But there is a lot of cyclogenesis (stormy weather) there. Points to watch out for: On the NEIC board that lists the dates of recent earthquakes with a magnitude over 5: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...quakes_big.php Look out for a day that reports no such quakes. This is a new thing learned so it might contain errors but it seems that when there are violent storms due whose potential inner pressures at sea level are likely to be as low as the 960's millibars, .....there is always an hiatus in the list. I have noticed the hiatus in times past but never made the connection until looking at the Aussie site he http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/nmoc/l...DCODE=IDX0033&... And following this warning is a much less gentle one where there will be two or three consecutive earthquakes on that list that are in almost the same place. I am not sure where the first series takes place but the same recurs when the storm is over and the following seems to apply: For storms in the South West Indian Ocean, this series seems to be Vanuatu some 120 degrees distant. I expect yet more tropical storms and there is still the residue of the storm that passed through Britain last Monday to fade into the background too. That one is at present over Estonia and Latvia, with the one that crossed Britain a day or so later about to approach Norway both at 990 millibars. I believe that when they reach 1000 to 1005 mb there will be a large, maybe a very large earthquake. (As a warning the prelude will be some uncertain or plain wrong weather forecasting from the various national agencies.) Well that's the best I can do so far. Good luck to all involved and god help the victims. Maybe once the one laptop per child thing gets going, they might have a fighting chance. Maybe even grow up to respect their environment and stop the illegal logging. Let's hope they are not subverted with the hopeless inanity of global warming whatever else. |

I just found the Australian data archive:
http://www.bom.gov.au/nmoc/MSL/ All I need now is China or Siberia and/or both would be even nicer. Not content with criminal characteristics towards humanity, the enticing culture of communiteeism seems radically hostile to all forms of pressure. Perhaps if we started calling them The People's Liberation of National Weather Data instead of Synoptics... Or perhaps if we stopped calling them ******s? The *******! |

I wonder how the people irresponsible for that catastrophe were treated? If they sacked a man for not killing hundreds of thousands of people, what could they possibly have done about those that did? Funny thing in all the follow ups, there were little or no recriminations. I imagine in the good old days when the law demanded and eye for an eye, they'd round up all their families, even the most distant relatives, all his friends and their families, all the people they did business with and all their families and execute all them. And they'd still have come up short. |

The Canadian chart is showing a Low over the mid-western USA:
http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/ensem...me=00&Type=pnm It's pretty much a “col“ over the rest of the eastern States, as far as about 100 degrees west, maybe. Most of Canada is sitting under an High and there are large Highs either side of the continent. Their Northern Hemisphere chart is looking slightly different, with a Low menacing the NE USA: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/data/analysis/947_50.gif That chart also shows a High and a Low suitably situated in the northern North Atlantic just right for a spell full of cold weather this week, never mind what the better educated may think. The UK has one half decent TV show that deals with agricultural interests. Mostly it is geared to a children's style magazine hence the intake for presenters coming from Blue Peter. But what would one expect from a self contained quango with a penchant for jessies and drug abusers? It's the only place on TV -not counting the regional newscasts which are lax enough in some areas to allow a view of the North Atlantic chart. Which almost hardly gets used. For non UK residents, one can get a glimmer of what it used to be like before modern technology gave us massive improvements: http://satellite.ehabich.info/hurricane2nc.htm Allow me to draw your attention to the writing on the screen, Notice it is in brown and green? And the predominant colours of the background? Well the BBC in its majesty has solved such problems as illegibility by doing away with all things graphic except the background. Instead it makes do with us having to believe whatever the presenters tell us to believe whilst they are waving at what looks like spilled porridge. They won't tell us how much that set up cost. I do not wonder why. And since there is obviously no money in it, the independent services don't even offer what the BBC does. The Met Office must be demanding outrageous prices for its services. So why doesn't someone approach the Canucks? Or even the Chimpistanians? They are their satellites, after all. Still I suppose nothing better from a government made up of sock puppets. And one with a leader who has a tatty, large hole in it at that, darn it! Meanwhile: http://www.westwind.ch/?link=ukmb,ht...racknell+13 2 has a deepening Low situated in the middle of the Atlantic until March the 8th. So that should prove interesting, as once March the 8th is past the Low is scheduled to return.. Or is it? |

Well done him (or her.) I think that when the data is analysed the actual distances apart will be more like 15 degrees. That would put it in the same keep as the Lows that miss Britain by 15 degrees. The region around the Irish Sea, for instance, will experience far nicer weather whilst a Low goes past to the north by 15 degrees. Some other parts of the kingdom will of course be inundated. Just like in the USA. I find that sort of thing interesting. Must be because I am a kook. |

There is a tropical storm warning out for Indonesia. However the FNMOC WXMAP site put that into perspective: https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/wxmap_cgi... d=thk&tau=000 The pressure would appear as a mere "col" on UK weather maps, however TC 28S has wind speeds of 48 knots: http://205.85.40.22/jtwc/warnings/sh2808.gif So there you have it.

Meteorological data requires collation and analysis as well as being rigidly time stamped. And it seems to me that the seismic events follow the storm, that is they occur as the storm dissipates. (Thereafter, in the absence of storm fronts, there are sequences of aftersahocks. Some of them much larger than the initial events and not necessarily in the same place. (There may be a lot of error in our perception of the phenomenon known as aftershocks.))

Another set of twin cyclones.:
Qhttp://satellite.ehabich.info/hurricane-watch.htm I wonder what is going on. Is it a more common phenomenon than previously realised or is there a glitch in the apparatus? "The Dvorak technique (developed in 1974 by Vernon Dvorak) is a widely used system to subjectively estimate tropical cyclone intensity based solely on visible and infrared satellite images. Several agencies issue Dvorak intensity numbers for cyclones of sufficient intensity. These include the National Hurricane Center's Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB), the NOAA/NESDIS Satellite Analysis Branch (SAB), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center at the Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA). In a developing cyclone, the technique takes advantage of the fact that cyclones of similar intensity tend to have certain characteristic features, and as they strengthen, they tend to change in appearance in a predictable manner. The structure and organization of the tropical cyclone are tracked over 24 hours to determine if the storm has weakened, maintained its intensity, or strengthened. Various central cloud and banding features are compared with templates that show typical storm patterns and their associated intensity. If infrared satellite imagery is available for a cyclone with a visible eye pattern, then the technique utilizes the difference between the temperature of the warm eye and the surrounding cold cloud tops to determine intensity (colder cloud tops generally indicate a more intense storm). In each case a "T-number" and a Current Intensity (CI) value are assigned to the storm. These measurements range between 1 (minimum intensity) and 8 (maximum intensity). The T-number and CI value are the same except for weakening storms, in which case the CI is higher. the list shows: the Dvorak Number, wind speed in Knots; Pressure Millibars and the two different ocean basins considered: the Atlantic and the North West Pacific. 1.0 25 ---- ---- 2.0 30 1009 1000 2.5 35 1005 997 3.0 45 1000 991 3.5 55 994 984 4.0 65 987 976 4.5 77 979 966 5.0 90 970 954 5.5 102 960 941 6.0 115 948 927 6.5 127 935 914 7.0 140 921 898 7.5 155 906 879 8.0 170 890 858 The National Hurricane Center will often quote Dvorak T-numbers e.g. DVORAK SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T2.5/35 KT. The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed the Objective Dvorak Technique (ODT). This is a modified version of the Dvorak technique which uses computer algorithms rather than subjective human interpretation to arrive at a CI number. This is generally not implemented for tropical depressions or weak tropical storms." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_techniqu" |

It looks like the Andreanof Islands are kicking off again. Still
nothing over 4.9 M. in two days and more. I suspect that the large high on the North American eastern seaboard will bleed slowly into the Atlantic via Cape Hatteras and the south eastern States rather than the Davis Strait, thus leaving the strait open for that low to the south of Greenland to pass through. It beats the hell out of me why I am the only person on god's earth who can see that these highs and lows are interference patterns, the product of acoustic pressures we are yet to examine. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/data/analysis/947_50.gif What the hell else could they be? If it were anything the like of what Cleveland Abbe "The Weather Man", surmised all those years ago, the two pressure areas described above would interact with each other directly. Would they not? I hope the one true god sees fit to provide gifts in men in the coming generations. I'd tear the present load of ******* new arse-holes for the good it would do scientific enquiry. What they believe beggars belief. |

A pointless exercise given that there is conclusive argument to adjust the times of these phases for storms. I dare say there are well documented records of all tropical cyclones for 1980, it's just that methods are so much different in this century. Bloody hell! It was nearly 30 years ago. |

In the North Atlantic the low that has dogged the top left hand corner
for the last few days has stated to... not so much move east as is the norm but to extend east. It has actually extended as far as Scandinavia where there is an Asiatic High coming the other way. It reaches half way up Greenland where an High stretching from over most of North America to past the North Pole, meets it. It is quite a serious build up of events. If it were a balloon people, near it might well be looking pensive. But as with such explosions those inside the pressure area are the least affected. So where will the earthquake be? From Earthquake.itgo.com: PREDICTION Dt. 23rd April '08 Good sunshine day. Suspect around 6 to 7+M quakes over KERMAN, IRAN (28.33N 56.33E) - NORTH -CENTRAL IRAN (30.7N 50.5E) MID-INDIAN RIDGE (15.1S 67.9E) - MINAHASSA PENINSULA( 0.1N 123.4E) and around 5 to 6M quakes over IRIAN JAYA REGION (3.7S 131.1E) - BANDA SEA (6.0S 130.0E) may occur within next 48 to 380 hours from 04.30 UTC on 22nd April 2008. http://earthquake.itgo.com/today.htm I have always found that this man's errors are more likely due to the event being a storm rather than an earthquake. Since he doesn't take account of storms in his data, it is only fair that he counts his errors as failures. So consider that when you look at his posted results. Note, I am not saying that the window is the same as it can not be with the length of storm duration being substantially different. No more is the location to be considered the same. It will be within geometric parameters yet to be set. Something like 90 or 120 degrees different depending on the category of the storm IIRC. Without looking more closely it appears that the result will be on the 1012 mb surface level pressure line. Exactly in the pressure wave path of any exploding Highs and imploding Lows. I doubt anyone has ever given a less rational qack-cast than that but damnitalltohell! what a doozie if I am right. Point to note: These regions are places of light winds, and with no wind sheer you tend to get large thunder cells building maybe even tornadoes. Lack of wind sheer is also a factor in tropical storms. |

And I've had a crick in my shoulder all day. (That's since I got up on the 26th.) I don't believe that the UK weather forecasts are all that they could be. And the spell is running out (28th nominally but things get off to a flying start in North America on the 27th -which is today.) Looks like a humdinger is on its way. Nargis in the bay of Bengal is headed due south, so it's relatively safe. Which is just as well as it is already 65 knots and slated to reach 115 on the 1st May. That's a Cat 4. I must say I am relieved as it will twist away the time of the phase and give a spell not too likely to be painful for people like me. Even my shoulder feels better. http://205.85.40.22/jtwc/warnings/io0108.gif This is an odd one. It has the Low bouncing back from Scandinavia even going to the south of England and all sorts: https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/efs/cgi-b...t=0&incr=12&st...) 2008/04/28 6.0 M. 15:58; 58.7 S. 24.7 W.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — A tornado ripped through southeastern Virginia on Monday, causing about 200 injuries and damaging homes, authorities said. "Suffolk looks to be hardest hit," said Bob Spieldenner, spokesman for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, referring to the city in the southeast corner of the state. "They are estimating somewhere around 200 injuries." A local hospital was also hit but was still able to receive patients, he said. Local television footage showed houses blown apart and trees cut down by the tornado. The twister had hit other south-central counties along the border of North Carolina on Monday afternoon but the extent of the damage was difficult to ascertain with the onset of nightfall, Spieldenner said. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5...gXkxjpwVAcKI_w Storm stories: Tales from Monday's Hampton Roads tornado http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/stor...-roads-tornado Families cope with losses after tornado touches down in Suffolk http://www.wvec.com/news/topstories/...cf8ab50. html Tornado Rips Through Local Community http://www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/18353214.html Twisters destroy homes in Virginia http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/04/28/tornado.virginia/ Heavy rain across country, tornado warnings Stuff.co.nz - New Zealand http://stuff.co.nz/search-results.ht...search_go.y=10 Witnesses: Tornado hits Cleveland Co. http://news14.com/content/top_storie...-/Default.aspx BREAKING NEWS: Reported tornado strikes http://www.progress-index.com/site/n... 462946&rfi=6 Video: Colonial Heights tornado damage http://www.wsls.com/sls/news/state_r..._damage/10053/ |

South Sandwich Islands region Is it possible that the spells of tornadic weather in the US and in New Zealand were related to this set of quakes? Not that dramatic a parallel as NZ is some 80 degrees away and the tornadoes were all over the place in the USA. Some 110 degrees by my reckoning from Driver near Richmond: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&nc..._w&sa=N&tab=nl And some 90 degrees to Gisborne, New Zealand: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&nc..._w&sa=N&tab=nl None the less, I wouldn't mind a look at a record of tornadoes and comparing them to accounts of quakes in the South Sandwiches. |
