Hurricane Epsilon

[rabidsamfan]

From the NHC, discussion #32

"THE END IS IN SIGHT...YES...BUT NOT QUITE YET. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING
TO FIND A WEAKENING SYSTEM AND INSTEAD I FOUND THAT EPSILON IS
STILL A HURRICANE. AS IT HAS DONE EVERY MORNING...THE CONVECTION
HAS REDEVELOPED AROUND THE LARGE AND DISTINCT EYE....KICKING THE
DVORAK T-NUMBERS BACK UP AGAIN. ALL AGENCIES SUPPORT HURRICANE
INTENSITY. THE HURRICANE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED WITHIN THE REGION OF
LIGHT WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AXIS OF AN UPPER TROUGH. HOWEVER...
THE WEAKENING PROCESS HAS TO BEGIN VERY SOON SINCE STRONG
HIGH-LEVEL WINDS FROM THE SAME TROUGH ARE ALREADY HEADING TOWARD
THE CORE OF THE HURRICANE. WITH THIS UPPER-LEVEL WIND PATTERN...I
HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO FORECAST WEAKENING AT A FAST PACE.
NEVERTHERELESS...THERE IS VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE INTENSITY
FORECAST."



Does the poor boy sound as tired to you as he does to me?

Poor guy. He's put in his hours this year for sure.

Can we send him cookies?

*snerk* Poor guy. My parents were on a trans-Atlantic cruise - they had to change course for Delta and Epsilon both. Mom said "We thought this late in the season we wouldn't have to worry..."

*laughing* That poor boy at the NHC needs a beer.

Visions of him holding onto either side of his monitor with tears running down his face and screaming "DIE, DIE, WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?!"

Who was that, Franklin? I thought it was Knabb, but his is like #33 or 34.

Aha, yes. I remember he had a lot of personality too.

I enjoy Knabb; he's often somewhat sarcastic or biting. ;-D

He has such confidence in his forecast! The poor guy sounds like this particular hurricane has turned into the bane of his existence.

Poor baby - he needs a massage and twelve hours of sleep.
