FROM THE SEPTEMBER NHC SUMMARY::
ONE DEATH WAS ATTRIBUTED TO OPHELIA... A DROWNING ALONG THE
SOUTHEASTERN COAST OF FLORIDA. THE STORM CAUSED AN ESTIMATED $50
MILLION IN DAMAGE ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST... WITH
SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION NOTED FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST
SOUTHWARD TO THE CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST.

Lili killed 13, and caused 900 million...compare that to Ophelia's 50 million...


I was going by this...

44 in El Salvador, 10 in Guatemala, 4 in Honduras, 1 in Mexico.

Current death toll: 59.

Seems like we have yet another candidate for retirement...

NRL and NHC expect Stan to cross into the EPAC and already NRL navy backup site made the change.

Wow... I'm watching the current Stan reports on TV, and its worse than I thought. Many areas of Chiapas look devastated by the flooding of Stan and the unnamed E Pac system. :eek: And the death toll is still rising, they don't have an accurate count, but there are reports of "some bodies" found.

So far this looks much, much worse than Emily.

I would expect the worst of the flooding to be on the Pacific side of the mountains due to the upslope flow, especially in very vulnerable El Salvador and Guatemala

If Stan exits as Stan...it will keep the same name in the East Pacific...which has never happened before. Imagine if "Stan" made it...then crossed the dateline, and became a typhoon! LOL...that would be interesting.

Interesting... because the NHC calls for it to dissipate by tomorrow.

It's only encountered flat land so far, but it's about to hit some pretty high mountains.

Is the High that strong in the Gulf to still be pushing Stan on this track, or is there other steering currents present to be influencing him?

Yeah I noticed that... but I still think the low level circulation will be non-existent when it re-emerges, and if that happens, and it re-develops, it would not be Stan. It would be the next EPAC name.

Its moving a lot faster than the NHC had it. Center has been over the mountains for a while (the mountains are close to both coasts, over the highest mountains now, about 15K

One thing that may keep this alive is the surface inflow that is well established from the EPAC
