Misc 2021-22 Fall/Winter Whamby Thread

Panthers just got a former 1sr round corner of a trade, as if our defense wasn’t scary enough

Wonder why jax let him go after 1 year. A fith rounder plus Arnold doesn't seem like much for a first rounder from last year.

There a poverty franchise, I know CJ can do well, especially with good coaching and the team overall being better, which can work in a way to boost a player
 
but would like some breezy tropical weather with lot of rain. 30mph sustained with 4-8”. Gusts to 35. Or something similar to Isabell

Would guess if you had sustained 30, you'd have gusts into the 40s pretty easily.

Would rate this season a B, hated on quantity and sat presentation of a few storms. Local impacts, meh.
 
Don’t like seeing the Charlestown earthquakes looks like one was upgraded to 3.3

This year has been a C-. Very boring “ active “ year.

A third of this years storms shouldn't have ever been a storm, and another 4 that were just junk.

Anna, Bill, Danny, Julian, Mindy, Odette, Teresa. All less than 48 hours in life, and if you remove Mindy, the remaining 6 were less than 36 hrs.

Storms like Claudette, spent more time as a classified tropical system on land than it did over water...

Then you have "storms" like Kate, Peter and Rose, who's LLC spent more time exposed than it ever did under the CDO.

Hasn’t been many MCS events either. A lot of our storms have been mainly heavy rain, not as much severe weather, limited thunderstorms.

I think its fair to question how many more storms would have been named in the past if we had the same tools we have today.

I've thought about this too, if the increased naming was more of an agenda related thing (and I know we don't need to go there haha) or in fact if we would've had more storms in the past but lacked the technology to confirm them. If the latter is true, which seems very plausible to me, then makes me wonder if maybe the criteria for naming should be adjusted. For instance, do we really need to name a storm that by the definition is a TC but is located in middle of the ocean and only expected to remain a TC for a few days, with no land threat at all?

I'm sure it's a little of both. Let's look at 1914 for example there was one storm ? but it was also in the middle of WW1 and ironically the one storm in the record hit Florida...

Also if you go back into history the only reason they knew some storms existed away from land was a ship ran into it... Things were a lot different before satellite. That's why a lot of these records only mention the satellite era

Spit balling some ideas.

1. Increase Minimal TS winds from 40mph to 50mph (45 Knots).
2. Has to retain the TS winds for 24hrs or greater.
3. Has to be, or expected to be within 1,000 Km of land.
4. A different designation for weak fishy's or quick spin up that die out in 48 hours. Maybe TTC's. Temporary Tropical Cyclones.

^ Don’t like it. Some TD can be monsters. I would rather give rain totals some factor in naming too.
 
Just like with the CAT system, include surge to weigh more than wind.
 
Also some nice discussion about September’s weather over the last few days
