khitajrah Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 oh dear hurricane winds tommorrow Hurricane??? not quite. From Ertie's link... David Robinson, Shetland Coastguard Watch Manager says: "Weather conditions have been very challenging for all vessels today with violent storm force winds, gusting to hurricane force with severe showers, thunder and lightning."

Guest Anonymous Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I think we've got the tail end of the storm here now. Just watched a pleepsie peerie TV reporter, on the local news, standing on Ã…lesund pier reporting the weather with an expression which was "WTF am I doing here".They're calling it a storm here, and it may be about the worst I've seen here, but you could still light a fag without shielding the lighter with your hand.

smaadrink Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 oh dear hurricane winds tommorrow Hurricane??? not quite. From Ertie's link... David Robinson, Shetland Coastguard Watch Manager says: "Weather conditions have been very challenging for all vessels today with violent storm force winds, gusting to hurricane force with severe showers, thunder and lightning." A hurricane is a large rotating storm centred around an area of very low pressure with strong winds blowing at an average speed in excess of 74 miles per hour. The whole storm system may be up to 10 miles high and on average 500 miles wide. It moves forward like an immense spinning top, at speeds up to 20mp. Gusts do not equate a hurricane. So Crofter was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
