Doesn't kts x 1.15 give you mph? I believe I remembered that correctly from last year.

Bingo

Myanmar is a very poor country. I will be surprised if they even have a weather service.

This may be off topic but I have a question. HURAKAN, in your avatar it shows Monica and it looks like she was annular. So do you think she was?

YES, I THINK THAT SHE WAS PRETTY ANNULAR. THIS IS THE FIRST CYCLONE/TYPHOON/HURRICANE THAT I HAVE SEEN MAKING LANDFALL WITH WINDS AT 180 MPH OR MORE. JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Myanmar has a rocky coastline, so that should help moderate the surge.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Mala causes a bad situation? LOL.
