Applied from the Katrina Special: Worst Canes yet to come?

[Weatherfreak000]

I remeber watching the guy dig up dirt to determine hurricane history in Louisiana. Wow what a boring yet fascinating science that must be. He claimed that it's possible there is a far different trend. I'll elaborate on these ideas and put in some of my thoughts.


Perhaps "Activity" does indeed range way greater then we can anticipate. In fact there is a possibility that the cycle is indeed prolific.



Here for instance, the time of dinosaurs was hot right? That must have been a form of "intense" global warming that surely brought many powerful hurricanes to that time. In fact, i'd be inclined to say it's possible massive hurricanes and a huge climate shift could be a theory in the resulting extinction of the dinosaurs.



The world could very well go through hundred....thousand...perhaps even million year cycles of activity with little "mini cycles" of greater activity within.


This all leads me to wonder what kind of hurricanes did the dinosaurs encounter....and if global warming if indeed an effect (which I think it is) we could very well be encountering some insane hurricane seasons yet to come.


The guy on the special said thousand year cycles but i'm thinking we may be on the tailend of a Billion year cycle into very powerful hurricanes.


Opinions?

would have been nice if Katrina and Rita could have waited so that the possibility of 1500 year cycles could be investigated.

If we are entering into a 1500 year active cycle, as well as the decadal active cycle, seasons like this year and last are going to be the norm possibly

Yes I think some sort of cyclical global warming is exacerbating the
normal hurricane cycle-
I stated an opinion on this yesterday but got severely flamed by
someone who was "sick and tired" of "bull manure" global warming.

Well, we are in for a normal "ACTIVE CYCLE"...however...we are going to start seeing storms like this::::













Each of those hurricanes today would be monster events. A Cat 5 that weakens just below Cat 5 making a direct hit on Fort Lauderdale....Can you imagine?

[Weatherfreak000]

But the thing is you have to fish through several different years to find these canes.



Nowadays we are getting two to four of these disasters EVERY YEAR.




Nothing on you man, just thought it helped my opinions lol.

[Weatherfreak000]

Look at Cane #10.



It started in the pacific and became an Atlantic Storm. Incredible.

[terstorm1012]

I've read about those cycles within cycles. Actually, paleo-studies into climate and geology are research interests of mine, tho i'm done with school for the time being.

At this point I say anything is possible. The Earth will do anything to maintain a balance and these cycles could be seen as just that.

This would DEFINATELY NOT BE GOOD if this verified...

Well i'm not trying to be a harsh critic but how could you possibly get this info? We're talking Millions of years ago...


Anyway, i'm definitely excited about 06, seeing as how my name Tony although shortened from Anthony will be out there.



I just hope I can see it thrive and with these past seasons it appears very possible.

I'm excited to see what my name Chris will do in 2006 considering it's been used 3 times, and not retired. 2006 could be different, I just hope it doesn't become an east coast hurricane.

thats my name to but the hard part is when its retired.thats when the jokes start pouring in

It was an interesting special. His theory was 1500 year cycles with the current mini 20-40 year cycles with in. He used sediment deposits of sand from previous storm surges. According to his research we are at the end of a 1500 year lull.

If he is correct, and a 1500 year active in conjuntion with the known 20 year actives together would mean serious trouble. We will know if he is right in 10-20 years when the current active ends.

[tornadochaser86]

yes but there have never ever been any hurricanes in the history of the united states to reach cat5 and stay cat5 at landfall

Public warning!!! One more post like this and you are gone! We all know this is a false statement.

[john potter]

weatherfreak, or Tony, I am with you. Hurricanes must not be tampered with. A hurricane is a natural entity that performs an essential heat transfer function. People who invest ego and treasure to establish home, life and profession in hurricane landing zones invite not pity but opprobrium when they lose it all. Accuweather's Bastardi (who I respect) has continually raised the spectre of retarding hurricanes by seeding, oiling sea surfaces to retard SSTs, ect. Theses attempts to "tame" hurricanes (from 1947) have, largely failed, mostly, because such attempts invite ruinous litigation (what if seeding caused a 100-year flood???). Stay tuned.

if we put a cap on hurricanes and SST raise to 100-105 degrees 200-250 mph hurricanes will become the norm

I wish I had seen it. I hope it airs again soon.

You're right too, if the 1500 year lull is over, we're in for a rough time with these 20-40yr cycle bursts.

A 1500 hundred year lull over?? Wow. Scary Thought.

that means cities like Miami, New Orleans again, Tamp, NYC, Houston, and Galveston are all going to be effected- some of those cities may literally be wiped off the charts. New Orleans is the most likely area, as they could get hit again in time

thats a huge chunk of change
