TWC: "It Could Happen Tomorrow"

[terstorm1012]

I apologize if this is a double thread and someone has already started one...but is anyone planning on watching "It Could Happen Tomorrow" on TWC? The series starts on TWC on Jan. 15 and includes a Cat. 5 hitting NYC (at least that's what the previews say.)

LOL no i dont pay attention to TWC much anymore i might watch the New York getting destroyed by a 5 though.

A Cat 4 or 5 hit is impossible on NYC.

[Astro_man92]

"GASP" shh scorpion don't say that


remember what happened when we doubted the 2005 season?

[Rainband]

A Cat 4 or 5 hit is impossible on NYC.

I think after the last two years we have seen nothing is impossible. Improbable maybe but not impossible.

[Derek Ortt]

I also believe that it is impossible

to get that intense of a hurricane over the cold waters, you would need to have tremeondous QG forcing, which usually is only in place for a westerly wind regime.

more likely for Cape Cod, though still very improbable

[Terrell]

A Cat 4 or 5 hit is impossible on NYC.

I'd shy away from saying it's impossible, given Mother Nature's recent fury, she might decide to prove that wrong (though a cane of that strength hitting NYC is probably unlikely). I hope such a thing doesn't happen though (a fish hurricane or TS is the best kind of hurricane or TS since it doesn't hurt anyone, their pets, or their property)

If a Cat 5 can't make landfall in 95 degree Gulf temps there is no way it will happen in the 75 degree water of the NE...

[Normandy]

It could be barocyclinically influenced by a trough that would help it with strengthening (like Charley and WIlma).

the middle Gulf waters were never 95 degrees...may be 88-89...but not 95. Most of the water was near 85 degrees.

Never say impossible. The Long Island Express was a cat 3. If traveling fast enough, a cat 4 is possible. Not probable, but possible

I'm afraid I have to go along with this philsophy.
After the past 2 seasons. I hesitate to say never when it comes to weather anomalies.
But, I'm not going to mark any dates on the calendar to watch extreme weather disaster movies, though.

It doesnt matter, even if a Cat 3 hit NYC, it would still most likely top Katrina, and the place would be inhabitable for months if not years, but a Cat 5 into NYC would pretty much close it down for good...and never say never when it comes to Mother Nature...this year taught us that what we thought of hurricanes, and our climotology is WAY off, and we need to reevalute our stuff big time...

[Astro_man92]

I'm been looking forward to check this show out for a while. so you can expect me to be watching the premier

I'm looking at the shows website and its about what if a CAT 3 hit New York City. It also has some other possible disaster episodes so I guess it willl be a series. Looks interesting!

8.0 San Fran Earthquake
Mt. Rainer Eruption
Cascadia Earthquake and Tsunami
New Madrid Earthquake
California Wildfires
Dallas F5 Tornado

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

IMO the CAT 5 Scenario should be made more practical
Instead of having a CAT 5 into New York Nightmare- they should
have a CAT 5 into Galveston or Miami Scenario
This is because a CAT 5 hitting NY is highly improbable
(though not impossible)

for one Miami is still fresh in our memories (92') (well not mine ) and we almost had galveston this year

Yeah except with Andrew downtown Miami only saw Cat. 2 force winds...the worst would be if andrew would have hit Miami directly. If it had of, then Miami would have turned out worse than New Orleans did probably. All those buildings would have suffered catostrophic damage with building failures likely to many structures. Thank god they dodged that in 92, or else andrew probably would have been a Katrina priced storm and a major killer (especially for those inside the buildings).

Speaking of wildfires and TWC; storm stories tonight had a really cool clip of one of those fire tornados. Huge and well filmed. Never saw anything like that before.

yeah I've heard how they form is once the fire gets large enough it is sucking is oxygen at such a high rate that it starts to form a "tornado"

BTW I did check out the "It could happen tomorrow" site, it is really cool! it explained stuff i would never think about. It said that if a cat three came through the high winds would create a vacuum over the windows, and cause them to break. Then the shards of glass would practically turn into little piercing bullets. I'd hate to be the person in the middle of that. That ,now that i think about it, sounds like exaggerated F3 damage from a tornado, and that is just the winds.
