HurricaneJosh Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 In terms of interesting chase action, it looks like the season might be over. I'm just getting that vibe. We're getting into Oz's late season, and any awesomeness is becoming increasingly less likely now. Big April landfalls are rare, although there have been some very important exceptions, like the great Monica of 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am19psu Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just whose butt do we sniff up now? Clearly the two systems within the South Pacific do not rate. What the hell are you babbling about now? There is nothing in the Southern Hemisphere that is remotely interesting to any of us, so that's why we're not talking about it. Post all you want about some monsoon low in the open South Pacific for all I care, but don't complain because no one else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am19psu Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Here is the surface analysis for the South Pacific. The system boomer is getting his panties in a twist about is at 15S 165W. Intimidating stuff here. By T+48, we've got a couple of cold core lows doing a binary interaction. So exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Boring. Why would any of us here want to talk about some crappy, half-formed low near Vanuatu? With garbage like that, the weather map might as well be clear. It's April anyway-- the Oz season will be winding down now as we turn our sights back home.

boomer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Named TC Daphne, will go Cat 2 and in the meantime help add to the fatal and devastating flooding already occurring in Fiji after its recent crappy half-formed low. As for the end of the season, there are least 16 significant recorded TCs in April.... including Monica (and that's just coastline Oz in Queensland). In addition I understand there is something of a nice set up beginning to occur in the CS by next weekend that appears to have some favourable onshore steering. PS: Josh if you wish to set up a thread that involves the southern hemisphere bear in mind those crappy half formed lows that only get to Cat One or Two (under BoM guidelines) have actual impact and are taken seriously. Otherwise set up a thread that includes only Cat 3/hurricane status or above before you start bagging forum members who have an interest. Cheers until next season... as this one is apparently over.

JTWC keeps it as a minimal TS-- doesn't look too exciting. Anyhoo, I'm not sure what your issue is. If you find it interesting, feel free to post about it.

No one begrudges you for having an interest in weak systems in the South Pacific. You are welcome to post here about them. What does bother me is your insistence that everyone else care and making disparaging comments when we don't. We've had this talk about 20 times since you joined the board. I can't figure out why you have such a difficult time understanding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With garbage like that, the weather map might as well be clear. It's April anyway-- the Oz season will be winding down now as we turn our sights back home. PSU.... the above is not disparaging? Agreed, I've been rapped over the knuckles before and at times with justification. But to be fair I'm not asking you or Josh to have an opinion. I'm simply putting up what is happening in the region I live. Josh makes no apologies that he doesn't care about minor systems... but he has certainly shown interest in lesser Australian mainland systems.... and that is fine. BUT, this is the only thread on this forum that discusses the region... why is it that if Josh thinks it's trivial.. then that is the view of all others (and as such are discouraged from posting)? The reality is these two "lows" have caused more damage and death than all the other systems in the OZ region combined this season. It has been an absolute disaster for Fiji (look up some clips). They deserved to be looked at... not trivialised. What particularly baffles me on this occasion in regards to your post is that it's okay for others to make allegedly disparaging comments... but for others... it's not.

You got ripped yesterday for making a comment about butt sniffing. Had you just posted about the system and left it at that, I wouldn't have ripped into you. I tire of your endless posts critiquing the way people comment in these threads. It's great you have an interest in storms that affect Fiji, but no one else really does. I don't have any clients there, Josh isn't going to chase there, so unless it is a decent storm, no one on this board is going to care.

In my naivety I genuinely did not realise that the primary focus of this site (TC wise) was primarily on extreme events and financial gain. I've been incredibly dumb in thinking there was an element of altruism, and with what comes with that.... general discussion on events that do not necessarily benefit members, either intellectually or financially.... and I apologise for that.

boomer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just for the record... TC Daphne did not cause the flooding in Fiji... it was the prior low (sorry but this is on the intro to the thread). Daphne is about 450km from Fiji and heading SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any punishment to be meted out I would also ask the same standards be administered in regard to all offending members... including moderators. PS: If I am getting punted for pointing out the obvious then my final request is that Psu changes his EC Avatar of Yasi... if he wasn't there, he doesn't deserve it... if he was, he does.

Are you insane or are you drinking? For the thousand time: anyone in this thread is welcome to post about what they like, as long as it has to do with S-Hemisphere tropical cyclones. If you want to post about Daphne or the Fiji flooding, go ahead. Just stop trying to decide what others should post about. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to belabor the point... but it's very weird. No one was preventing him from discussing the Fiji system-- he was completely welcome to post about it-- but he seemed to be angry that none of the rest of us were interested in it. I post all the time in this thread Re: things that no one else cares about. Imagine if I scolded everyone for not responding to my posts? I'd walk around pretty pissed all the time. Just... weird. Moving on... I think we're just about done with the S Hemisphere for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TC-less streak was broken last night (EDT) as TC 19 formed over Micronesia. JTWC is a bit more aggressive than I am, but whatever, at least there is a storm.
