Eh, is de definitie van "een bovengemiddeld orkaanseizoen" dat de USA vaak getroffen dient te worden? Lijkt me niet.quote:Op donderdag 6 januari 2011 18:55 schreef Frutsel het volgende:
Interessant... voor 2010 werd een boven gemiddeld orkaanseizoen voorspeld... toch leek dat eigenlijk niet zo, want de US werd zo goed als niet getroffen, maar toch waren er aardig wat stormen.
Daarom zeg ik ook "het leek van niet"... want we hebben er niet veel over gehoord in de media, juist omdat er nauwelijks landfall was.quote:Op woensdag 12 januari 2011 19:57 schreef cynicus het volgende:

Dat de USA afgelopen jaar niet vaak geraakt is komt door heersende windstromingen en niet doordat er weinig orkanen of stormen waren, imho.
NOAA noemt 2010 zelfs een extreem druk Atlantisch orkaanseizoen...
quote:New Caledonia on cyclone alert
New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands were on maximum alert for Cyclone Vania after it brought gale-force winds to Vanuatu.
The New Caledonian domestic airline grounded all flights until further notice.
The category 2 storm damaged food crops and small buildings in Vanuatu.
The weather bureau said it received widespread reports of low-level damage but communication with some islands, including Tanna, was cut after a phone tower was blown over.
New Caledonian officials say it could bring winds of up to 110 kilometres an hour to the Loyalty Islands and to the main island later.
Low-lying areas have been evacuated, businesses and schools are closed, and residents have been warned to take shelter and avoid coastal areas.

ABC Newsquote:Norfolk Island spared cyclone's wrath
Norfolk Island has been spared the full force of Tropical Cyclone Zelia, which is now moving to the east of the island.
Earlier, it was predicted to move directly across the island but it is currently about 60 kilometres to the north-east and is rapidly moving further off shore.
The weather bureau says it has been downgraded to a category two cyclone and is unlikely to cause any significant damage.
The bureau says winds could reach gale force in the next few hours and seas could rise up to seven metres.

Tropical Cyclone Anthony is moving east in the northern Coral Sea and slowly
strengthening. Likelihood of TC Anthony remaining a tropical cyclone in Eastern
Region on:
Monday: High
Tuesday: High
Wednesday: High
quote:Potential Cyclones:
At 8am WST a tropical low was located just off the Kimberley coast near latitude
14.3S longitude 128.8E, about 75 kilometres west of Port Keats, moving north at
6 kilometres per hour. The low is expected to move in a generally westwards
direction and be in the Western region [west of 125E] just off the Kimberley
coast on Tuesday. During the week the low is expected to move towards the
southwest parallel to the Pilbara coast. The low may develop into a tropical
cyclone late on Tuesday or more likely on Wednesday.
Likelihood of this system being a tropical cyclone in the Western Region:
Monday :Low
Tuesday :Moderate
Wednesday :High
en volgens dat plaatje wordt het wel iets meer dan een Cat 1quote:Op zondag 23 januari 2011 13:31 schreef aloa het volgende:
Anthony gaat rechtsomkeer maken en lijkt (volgens GFS) over een aantal dagen aan land te gaan in het noorden van Queensland. Wat voor nieuwe overstromingen kan gaan zorgen.
