@DLoweryAU @andrewmiskelly In meteorological circles, they are called gravity waves. Different scientific areas can and regularly do use overlapping terms, we simply need to acknowledge the context in which the term is used.
@Osocom123 Wonder what wind loads the windows on the condo’s were designed to? Exposed coast in a hurricane prone area, you’d hope there was a decent design level. Even without climate change driving the extraordinary intensification, cat 5 is possible here (how likely? 🤷🏼♂️)
@RARohde@Matt_Pinner@StewarrMark@US_Stormwatch In the South Pacific, TC #Lola reached 120kts (Saffir-Simpson category 4) in October. May go close to early season record for the region. Was 55kts 36 hours prior to the peak.
@ddeanetheology@Jomboy_ So it was “within the spirit of the game” for Bairstow to attempt the exact same dismissal earlier in the game? FMD! Next you’ll tell us that if he had succeeded in striking the stumps, England would not have appealed for Labuschagne’s wicket. There’s the door, show y’self out…
An extensive cloud band over NSW/ACT is beginning to curl around a developing upper-level low. This will cause rain to continue into Sunday over central and south eastern parts.
@AndrewDessler@KHayhoe Considering we design for events of similar rarity for earthquake and winds, I think cities probably *could* design for this. Just depends whether there’s value in investing in the required infrastructure and design standards compared to the risk of the impact of the event
A tropical low moving into waters north of the Kimberley over the weekend is forecast to develop into a Tropical Cyclone on Monday. Gales along the north Kimberley Coast between Kalumburu to Kuri Bay possible from late Sunday night. Keep up to date here: https://t.co/tzTkVpc07O.
@opplevelse Bwahahahahaha! I was somewhat surprised at how it intensified so rapidly overnight. The forecast last evening wasn’t very impressive, and then it’s cat 4 in the morning!
