EvC Forum: Hurricanes defying conventional science.

randman writes:

What do you guys make of Hurricane Epsilon? It should have weakened being over cold water. It doesn't fit the models.

Yes, this is true. I read a bit about the storm, here.

Randman, from what I understand, the science of weather is always evolving and is yet not an absolute science. Whenever a ""model" is made, it is a prediction based on the typical storm.

randman writes:

The storms defied the current models and we cannot yet explain their behaviour in certain areas.

True. Here in Denver, there is often a local storm that appears as an upper level disturbance or some other unforseen occurrance. The forecasters say "Gosh, Folks...we didnt see this one coming!" My conclusion? Weather can STILL be unpredictable.

randman writes:

Of course, it is a growing and learning area of science, but these 2 hurricanes were shockers, and they are trying to figure out how to incorporate their behaviour for future models.

Yes...this is job security if you are a meteorologist!

Mark Twain had a lot to say about the weather. Funny guy, that humorist!

Speaking of funny guys, I am somewhat bemused by the comments being winged from all sides in this discussion. Since it was you that started the thread, Randman, I feel as if I must address you first. You start the thread by asking

You then get feisty rather quickly...it seems as if we were in third grade and I was the teacher
I would have to put your desk over here and put Jars desk way over there!

After everyone gives their "opinions" of Hurricane Epsilon, you then say that

randman, referring to Jar writes:

But since I started out in a manner threatening to him, he denies those same basic facts.

Now.. there have been many random attacks on the person rather than the position in this discussion. To wit:

Grow up and start learning before mouthing off stupidity.

Then you either can't read well or are lying.

you can't act like a normal human being and discuss a news story without lying

is this going to be yet another thread of vague silly sophomoric assertions of incredulity?

That was the post of a simpleton.

This simply violates the spirit of our forum----attacking the person rather than the position is a NO NO!

Oddly enough, Im leaving this thread alone only because our ratings need to go up and we could use a good mud-slinging thread....but maybe we should start a thread specifically for mud slinging and not "diss" each other in our nice little CoffeeHouse!

Too much caffeine??

P.S. Hangdawg, im'na hafta break it down, yo!

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

We arrive at truth, not by reason only, but also by the heart.
Pensées (1670)

Heb 4:12-13-- For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Holy Spirit--speaking through the Apostle Paul
