Have you asked yourself why doesn't Jupiter have more than one Red Spot?
It was demonstrated in a lab, it was in a program from the Discovery Channel, that even when several disturbances form, only one takes control and absort the other ones. This happens in Jupiter, different disturbances develop in the atmosphere, but since the Red Spot developed, it has absorved all of them.
What is my point?
It's impossible for 3 super-mega storms to develop without one absorving the other two. Furthermore, it will be a hell of a Fujiwara dance?!?!?!?

I ask that and also why they are warm-core? shouldnt they be cold core systems (without the eye)
No, they are cold cored. Remember that in the center the air was so cold that people just froze to death in a second.

something about the coming from way up in the atmosphere and then ebing pushed down so fast that it doesn't have time to be warmed up...man, there has to be a website from a PO'd scientist on this movie somewhere...off to a google search

Cronk PSU,
I believe to answer your question of why the Northern Hemisphere was affected most is that because of the melting of the ice shelfs that it caused fresh water to spill into the North Atlantic changing the levels of salinity therefore causing a slowing of the Conveyor belt and drastic cooling of ocean temps in the North Atlantic as the warmer water was not traveling north as it should. As that happened isn't that when the three storms developed over the three areas in the northern hemisphere and didn't they decide to evacuate everyone south as the temps were warmer down closer to the equator. Was it snowing down in Texas where they set up camp, I can't remember. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I was under the impression that was what was going on. Didn't the ocean temps down south stay warm even with the slowing of the conveyor belt. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there was some truth to the scenario atleast in regard to the desalinization, cooling of ocean temps, and slowing of the converyor belt. As for the three storms that seemed pretty exagerated. Never say never though as who would have thought we would have what we did during hurricane season last year. That was a shocker.

The funniest part about 'the day after tomorrow' was near the end when air was sinking into the center of their storm and 'dropping so fast it could not warm' so everything was freezing. This is impossible based on the laws of physics, what you would have had was a huge warming drying effect, essentially a big santa ana wind. Not flash-freezing of everyone outside.
In any event, the very general 'basis' for the movie, that the Gulf Stream could shut down, is based on an actual scientific theory (it has happened before) but the event was exagerrated about 100 times for the movie, and there would be no huge land-based frigid hurricanes moving south across the ocean, it would just shift around areas of warm and cold weather.
