Those fings look slightly like galaxies. Hopefully they can be eaten.

Late post but... they are actually quite like galaxies.

The Fujiwhara effect or Fujiwara interaction is a type of interaction between two nearby cyclonic vortices, causing them to appear to "orbit" each other.
When the cyclones approach each other, their centers will begin orbiting cyclonically about a point between the two systems. The two vortices will be attracted to each other, and eventually spiral into the center point and merge. When the two vortices are of unequal size, the larger vortex will tend to dominate the interaction, and the smaller vortex will orbit around it.

The effect is often mentioned in relation to the motion of tropical cyclones, although the final merging of the two storms is uncommon. The effect becomes pronounced in these storms when they approach within about 1,450 km (900 mi) of each other and are at tropical storm strength or stronger.

Still... The most important and interesting question remains: Can they be eaten?

You haven't heard of the Pacricane?

You forgot about the Hypocane!

(Hypocrite - crite + cane = Hypocane)

No, but I've heard that candycanes can be eaten.

Clever.

Though, I must say you've all missed the point. (Yeah... I don't know either... So don't ask me)

If you want to say you haven't seen it, say "yes" to the question.

Vince is not recognized by the HCW (it looks really stupid).

But we do have TL 03 (could become Zelia)

omg quotez

Btw, it iz Zelia now.

Darvince · « **Reply #223 on:** January 14, 2011, 10:34:38 PM »

is it Aan next, or what? Oh yeh it's not EPAC or ATL. Doesn't follow Latin alphabetic sequence.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #224 on:** January 14, 2011, 10:42:52 PM »

It does. The rows are this though:

L - Laurence
M - Magda
N - Neville
O - Olga
PQ - Paul
R - Robyn
S - Sean
T - Tasha
UV - Vince
WXYZ - Zelia

This means that an L will be in that row, M in that row... etc, but PQ means that a P name or Q name will be there, but not both. Same with UV, and WXYZ row.

Darvince · « **Reply #225 on:** January 15, 2011, 04:14:48 PM »

In ATL it's this:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
M
N
O
PQ
R
S
T
UV
W

no... It's only ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPRSTVW

There aren't any "it could be a p or a q"'s

Version 1.4.0 of ASHSim has been released

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/atomic7732/1139934

HAHAHAHA!!!! Hurricane Cephalo 2011 top wind speed... 140 kts. Category 5. BEAT THAT!

pics for truth (you also can't edit the online one, like you can on the creation one, I could have put 140 in a variable, but this is online, so it's real)

What's with the random yellow line that keeps appearing-disappearing?

atomic7732 · « **Reply #229 on:** January 27, 2011, 04:21:35 PM »

that's a hurricane warning.

Naru523 · « **Reply #230 on:** January 27, 2011, 04:23:57 PM »

Oh okay.

Darvince · « **Reply #231 on:** January 27, 2011, 05:12:32 PM »

Omg 95kts I don't speak Spanishish.

BUG: Maximum knots in the storm is recorded as the last step, not the strongest wind.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #232 on:** January 27, 2011, 05:12:55 PM »

lol my automated system named a TD

Previously Diana got 131 kts.

3rd highest on record

Hurricane Bondie 140
Unnamed 136
Hurricane Diana 131

I encourage you to check out the options. NATO Phonetic Alphabet doesn't work yet. I'm about to get it running.

Darvince · « **Reply #233 on:** January 27, 2011, 06:21:28 PM »

New record! 100kts

v1.4.1 up, new formation calculation algorithm.

With the new formation calculation algorithm, all I'm getting is hurricanes. lol

Where's that at? Near New Caledonia?

atomic7732 · « **Reply #239 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:15:03 AM »

Yes you can see New Caledonia (the northern section on the bottom of the image). Vanuatu is the 20 or so Islands to the direct south of it.
