I think Mike is exaggerating a tiny bit.

Everything Else TWC / Re: The Weather Classroom is back!
« on: September 14, 2008, 12:09:15 PM »I know it was hosted by Dave Schwartz in 1998 per TWC Dan's site. Speaking of which, I hope he has some 1999 and 2000 clips up soon.
AFAIK, WC hasd never had one exclusive host. It was alwayshosted by someone different.

« on: September 14, 2008, 12:08:01 PM »Dolly?? Wasn't Dolly just a storm, that caused basically no damage what-so-ever? In fact, I don't even remember where it hit at.
Gustav.. nah. I doubt Gustav will be retired.
Question..why do you think Dolly and Gustav should be retired?
Because TWC has trained people to make mountains out of molehills.

Because a situation came up and I was asked to hide it.
I would appreciate it if you guys would not ask questions.

« on: September 14, 2008, 12:50:05 AM »Going back to last year, Noel (a weak Category 1) was retired because it caused 163 deaths in the very same region that Hanna effected.Looking at the death tolls for each storm thus far, Hanna has caused the most deaths (532) because of all the devastation it caused in Hispaniola. IMO, Hanna might have a pretty good chance at being retired.
Seems like a weak measure of consideration to me. Pouring a bucket of water over Hispaniola could cause 532 deaths. It's just the type of terrain you have there.
Hence why I say that death counts in that region are a very weak measure of a storm's intensity. It just seems to me that because a tropical storm causes 500+ deaths in an area mostly made of rocky, mudslide-prone islands, doesn't mean it should be retired. The bigger consideration should be what type of damage it causes to the mainlands.

IMO, Ike isthe only storm so far that even comes CLOSE to being retired. I wouldn't expect any other storm so far this year to even be considered for retirement.

Fay wasn't major. They won't remove it. Most hurricanes of any strength flood Florida (and Louisiana, and Texas, and so forth) because of the proximity to sea level.
