if you still care, here's an la times article about when hurricanes and tropical storms have come close. a tropical storm hit orange county in 1939 https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-08-21/hurricanes-here-the-cordonazo-that-lashed-los-angeles  in this map from the article you can just baaaarely see a few reaching up toward southern california but i think all of these (reaching socal) are tropical storms, not even category 1, so nothing compared to what happens elsewhere oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 12:43 on Sep 3, 2019 |

The storm doesn't even seem like it's going to hit the US. How the gently caress did the Bahamas do anything to deserve this yet Florida gets out completely unscathed?

if the actually living there bahamanian citizens could take over and freeze all assets that exist via companies parking in the tax shelter and then use all that money to build an archipelago of storm proof arcologies that stand as a rebuttal to the queen and the commonwealth that might be cool

oystertoadfish posted:if you still care, here's an la times article about when hurricanes and tropical storms have come close. a tropical storm hit orange county in 1939 cheers. these sound like the primary differences: quote:Unlike the eastern U.S., where the warm Gulf Stream flows northward along the Atlantic Coast, the California Current carries cool water southward along the West Coast. It literally throws cold water in the face of any tropical cyclones approaching the California coast and the coast of northern Baja California. which incidentally raises the question of "what happens if climate change causes the gulf stream to shut down?" naively i'd guess it means you'd have hotter water hanging around in the gulf of mexico/caribbean sea causing maxxximum storms - but from a brief read of wikipedia it sounds like we don't need to worry because at that point everything falls apart and we all die

being an oceanographer studying those currents must be one hell of a trip. you get to gently caress around with simulations and poo poo and find all sorts of new and exciting ways in which small changes to a delicate system cause abrupt and apocalyptic changes in climate

redleader posted:cheers. these sound like the primary differences: if the Gulf Stream shuts down, then the US East Coast and Northern Europe get a lot colder, major storms and tropical cyclones will get both stronger and less predictable, and ecosystems all around the Atlantic and surrounding land masses will be wrecked by the sudden major temperature change there's also similar warm currents in the Pacific which could shut down as well with a comparable impact on Japan and Australia

I think it's been moving slowly northwest. the cone of uncertainty doesn't include landfall in Florida anymore, so it's unlikely also my phone just told me it got downgraded to a category two, at least the friction and whatever else is slowing the wind down

the tropical tidbits guy said that the north side of the islands had cold water since they shield it from the currents coming up from the south along the florida coast so weakening was gonna happen once the storm got there

It also is/was undergoing an eyewall replacement, which usually drops storms a category or two on its own. If it finishes that and gets to the gulf stream relatively intact then it could strengthen back up again for a day or two before it zooms by the Carolinas.

 Freeport no longer exists, the whole island no longer exists and won't be there in 10 years.
