Irene was no Hurricane at landfall

The NHC mainly relies on Hurricane Hunter data as they can fly the plane right into the eye, where the strongest winds are. I'm sure if the NHC felt like it was not a hurricane, than they would have downgraded it before they did.

Irene was no Hurricane at landfall

You provided some graphs from some dudes blog. Not official information from the NWS. I can make a graph that says it had 500 MPH winds. Official reports, and reports from some buddies of mine who were at Kill Devils Hill, are winds above hurricane strength(~80). That would make it a Cat. 1...

Irene was no Hurricane at landfall

It still had hurricane force winds over NC. So it was a hurricane when it made landfall there... Hurricanes need warm ocean water to survive. Land kills them, so it makes perfect sense for it to weaken as it goes over land. Katrina wasn't a hurricane when it reached Tennessee, so does...

Irene was no Hurricane at landfall

Essentially the pressure gradient is what drives the winds. The lower the pressure in the center of a hurricane, the faster the winds will spin around it. And stronger winds can push more water into land, so a worse storm surge. I agree, it was a terrible storm, and I'm sure if you ask...

Irene was no Hurricane at landfall

They go off more than just wind speed. At the time it landed in NC it had a pressure of 952mb, which is usually the kind of pressure you would see in a decent Cat. 3. The wind might have been just below Hurricane threshold on land, but at sea, where most of the hurricane was, the winds were...

GOP to cut 40% from hurricane forecasting

The Hurricane Hunters collect invaluable information on the hurricanes that is then used to fairly accurately forecast the path of the hurricane. Without this information we will have shitty track forecasts. If you thought Irene was over-hyped, wait until there is no flight data in the...

Judge: Isohunt Must Remove Infringing Content

Why is providing search results illegal? Can Google get in trouble because you could do a search for child porn and find it? *I've never tried, but I'm sure it's possible. Now if Isohunt was hosting the material than that would be illegal, same as if Google was hosting the underage p0rn.
