Astounding Margin of Victory over EPAC

#1 Postby quandary » Tue Dec 20, 2005 2:13 pm

Isn't it amazing that we beat the EPAC by 13 cyclones? We've had a few years when we've come up ahead of the EPAC recently, especially in 2003, when we had 21 cyclones, but it is rare that we are able to beat them so soundly. 13 cyclones is more than a full season over here...

Heck, if you thought that was a surprise, it's an even bigger surprise that we've locked up a stunning upset over the West Pac! Unless, of course, they can produce 4 storms in 11 days. :wink:

Three tropical storms needed in 11 days to equal the North Atlantic. It could happen but probably won't. Japan looks safe with 100kts of shear over it anyway.

Unbelievable statistics, especially with regard to the Western Pacific!

The last time the EPAC clobbered the atlantic by a large margin was in 1994 before the Atlantic began an intense period of cyclonic activity. The score was 17 to 7 in favor of the eastern pacific. That doesn't include three storms that formed in the CPAC.

Seven?! How humiliating. This season, we had seven after only two months. Wow.

In 1992 the Atlantic produced 7 storms (including the subtropical storm in april) and the EPAC produced 25 storms (counting Iniki since it began as tropical depression #18 in the EPAC and not counting Hali and Ekeka that formed in the CPAC).

The Atlantic totally rocked this year. It was Amazing. I wonder if 2006 will rock just as much!

After 2004 and 2005, and even going against climatology which wouldn't agree on another astronomical monster season, I will prepare for the worst. My parents are already making preparations to install hurricane shutters during the off-season to get ready, and to possibly get a gas generation to be installed to the house so in case the light goes out in the next storm, the generation will jump into action and power the house. Preparedness is what I have learned during this 2 past season.
