Tullioz Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 3 minutes ago, the ghost of leroy said: Yeah. I think he is all eyewall all the time. This is his scariest chase from an outside perspective. It will be interesting to see how difficult it will be for him to get out of that area once all is said and done. That part of Luzon is quite remote and the roads leading in and out of his location are limited. This may end up be a chase he later regrets. I hope that's not the case, but if the roads become blocked with debris and washed out in several locations, it could be quite a challenge.

There's a small airport about 15 miles south of him that will no doubt be used as a staging area, so that could be an option he can try again. Hopefully there will not be any washouts of the road between his current location and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureDrop2017 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Typhoon Mangkhut, Cat 5 with 160 MPH wind sustained, wind gusts to 185 MPH Some videos are starting to come in with the devastation, there are some local tornado-like effects in which roofs of buildings are torn off, debris flying hundreds of feet up in the air, cars and trucks lifted and flipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 He hasn’t posted anything on Twitter or Facebook for roughly seven hours. He said he was about to lose all connectivity and he was still well outside the eyewall. Probably one of his most dangerous chases ever given the remote location and intensity.

PressureDrop2017 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Partly true ... the top two turn out to be still photos from Haiyan which were included in a Philippine news report about Mangkhut The lower two actually are Mangkhut, they are screenshots from videos posted to social media Good observation There will be plenty of similar images unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 An issue for any vertical city is wind funneling. You may have 70 kt sustained at the airport, but in downtown with skyscrapers, off the bay, etc., wind will have greater effect and look more intense.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Trami was an awesome super typhoon, but once it stalled it didn't take long for the upwelled cool water to hollow out the core. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Typhoon Trami, as viewed from the International Space Station (I think.) See twitter for animated image (very cool). Typhoon Trami effectively made landfall on Okinawa, Japan, and there are a lot of U.S. Military members there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Looks like Saipan is going to take one bad hit. I'm sure their building codes are very strong but this is a very powerful storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yowza! I probably over use maximum potential even if there are cases where the environment isn't perfect. But in Yutu's case, it is definitely maxing out. Almost looks as insane as Haiyan. Almost... I am noticing a subtle bend back towards a more westward component in the extended loop. Not sure if that is merely short term, but hopefully that allows Yutu's intense core to miss Tinian/Saipan or any other population centers for that matter.

It would be nice for Saipan if this westward motion were to continue for a few hours as that would certainly spare them the core but if it "wobbles" back north much at all then they could get the eyewall. Gonna be a very close call for them. Just an incredible looking storm right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
