What dat, dat cy-clone?

Dave Baker. Acadiana weather today on YouTube. Very indepth discussion.

Latest raw data is not good. Francine is trying to ramp up faster than expected. That could lead to Rapid Intensification. Predictions are for some dry air and shear to hit the system right before landfall. Hopefully that will help but I suspect Acadiana is about to get hammered hard with this one. Hope I'm wrong.

Actually, there was a big physical signal this was coming here over a week ago. A tree company parked 3 trucks in the Walmart lot on Ambassador week ago.

Organized low pressure with rotation is a cyclone, meteorologically. Hurricane, typhoon, willy willy are all just local vernacular for the same thing.

Only in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern hemisphere a low pressure system creates an anti-cyclone.

When Hurricane Lili hit I was headed home from work and a NOAA van loaded with instruments was pulled up in the field across from my house....not a good feeling.

Having worked in Disaster services I can tell you deployments are on going right now in both the public and private sectors. Assets will typically be deployed within a couple of hours of the expected landfall area. Its about to get real...

Only in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern hemisphere a low pressure system creates an anti-cyclone.

Only if you believe in the Coriolis Effect.

Ominous. It was your sign!

Having watched toilets flush in both hemispheres, I can verify the validity of the Coriolis Effect.

Actually toilets are too small to be affected by Coriolis forces, but large [low pressure] storms rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

In Australia, the rotation was clockwise, in the toliet.
