shaggy Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 24 minutes ago, Windspeed said: Good grief! Typhoon Kong-Rey is really living up to its name here, folks. The IKE on this thing must be insane. Deep intense ring of convection around a massive 55 nm eye with strong mesovorticies rotating around the inside of the eyewall. The sheer size of the low-level and mid-level vortex combined with such intensity is critical. It's just a different breed of TC in the WPAC, even if the size of this one is still kind of rare to be so strong. It's hard to fathom a TC this large being in the GOM. The storm surge alone would surpass 30 feet along the NGOM coast. You could fit the entire wind field of Oscar inside the eye of this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Kong-Rey is an absolute beast. My thoughts on the size of this storm are the giant size will make it less likely to weaken significantly before landfall even with terrain impacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 What an absolute unit, the outer eyewall is about 300 miles across. That's about from Jacksonville FL to the NC border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallopinggertie Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 The wiki page on this typhoon claims that “Kong-rey was the first typhoon in Taiwan's history to make landfall after mid-October and the largest storm to strike since Typhoon Herb in 1996.” At one point, cloud cover extended all the way from the northern tip of Borneo to the very south of South Korea! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 There's a small.village on the south end of a bay that is now in the western eyewall and will soon be in the eye. I'd bet they took a devastating storm surge. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=25W&product=vis_swir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Chido's organization has improved in the hours leading up to landfall. Looks like at least a Category 3 strike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Holy shit that thing ramped up quickly Yeah, someone got hit hard. A rapidly intensifying landfall per ADT analysis. Hopefully, it avoided a major population center. That looks to be the case as the small core came ashore a good distance south of the port city of Pemba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Chido's first landfall from the Island of Mayotte a few days ago.

gallopinggertie Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 There are reports that Chido caused extreme damage in Mayotte, with hundreds or possibly over a thousand people killed. Mayotte’s population has surged with many Comorians moving there in recent years for economic reasons, often living in shantytowns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
