All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.

Yup, another hurricane-strength Medicane made landfall earlier today.



quote:

At 29 SEP 1200UTC the storm centre was located near 37.0 N and 22.3 E Estimated minimum pressure: 987 mb. Maximum sustained winds: 33 m/s (65 kt, 120 km/h). Maximum gusts: 40 m/s (80 kt, 140 km/h).

Since 06 UTC, the cyclone has further intensified as it made landfall in the southern Peloponnese. The centre has since then temporarily moved over water again. A brief eye covered by thin cirrus has become visible in VIS imagery since 9 UTC. The intensity estimate now suggests a Dvorak T4.0 number of 4.0 and a central pressure of 987 mb, as well as marginal hurricane wind speed of 33 m/s (65 kt). At 12 UTC Kalamata, a little north of the centre, reported a pressure of 989 mb, which corroborates this intensity estimate.

Near hurricane-force winds are affecting the far southern Peleponnese and the Cyclades. Torrential rainfall is expected to be the most important hazard though.

Severe flash floods with possible landslides are possible, particular in Southeastern Peloponnese, Attica, Euboia, and Eastern Thessaly where 100-300 mm storm totals are expected.

So have there been 26 medicanes already, or is Zorba the 26th global hurricane, or do they just try to pick the funniest sounding ones for Europe?

I'd have to assume it's the 26th tropical cyclone of the year, worldwide. Mediterranean cyclones don't seem too common, but as the world heats up we'll probably see more.

I suspect it's the latter because they get one in the Mediterranean infrequently compared to the rest of the world, so there isnt really the need for a list of names like you would see in the Atlantic and Pacific

(also theres been like 40 named storms between Atlantic and Pacific alone this year so far)

the national hurricane center, a SOCIALIST organization full of NERDS posted:

Michael has strengthened today despite moderate westerly shear. The
shear is forecast to gradually decrease over the next couple of days
while the system moves over warm waters. This should allow for
steady strengthening and most of the intensity models bring Michael
to hurricane strength within the next couple of days. It should
also be noted that the global models also significantly deepen the
storm over the next 72 hours to pressures below 970 mb. The new NHC
intensity forecast calls for Michael to become a hurricane in about
36 hours when the storm reaches the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
Additional strengthening is indicated through 72 hours when the
storm is forecast to be near the northern Gulf coast, and the NHC
forecast is near the higher SHIPS and HWRF models.

mikey boy's gonna get pretty strong before coming in, which is like, whatever. a cat 2 or 3 isn't gonna destroy florida, and who among us would be sorry if it did?

but have a look at where he's likely to go after landfall. post-florence nut shot to the carolinas :stoked:

Storm's a comin'

https://twitter.com/JeffPorterWX/status/1049680947178815491?s=19

It's gonna hit Apalachicola, an extremely low-lying town surrounded by swampland filled with gators. St. George is a barrier island off the coast that should protect it somewhat. Most of the houses on St. George are on stilts already.

it's also gonna hit tallahassee and knock out 95% of the power grid, again, because they like their trees and canopy roads too much to trim them and I guess also like their money too much to pay to bury the power lines

South Florida can't bury anything unless you want it under water, and that's...not optimal for power lines.

tallahassee is north enough for them to do it, there was a serious discussion about it after I think either Hermine or Matthew last year knocked out the whole county for a week
