Re: Fwd: [pr:12237] 2012 Hurricane Season Webinar

Well gosh darn it.  I guess I am "wrong".  Notice that the storms weakend and were not considered Hurricanes by the time they hit Arizona.  If we are going to say that Arizona gets hit by Hurricanes but by them being just a reminante of the storm, then technically we get hit by a hurricane every year.  Remember a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil.....and Arizona gets rain.  Chaos Theory in action.

 

Reading further, the damage that we get is 4 inches of rain, flash flooding, and some strong winds.  Gee....isn't that typical of our Monsoons?  Just like last night....AJ got hit hard with a nice storm that lasted about 30 min.

 

No, Hurricanes are much worse than our hurricanes and technically by the time they hit Arizona, the Hurricane watch is over and now it becomes thunderstorm watches and warnings along with flash flooding. Plus the Hurricane center doesn't really track these.  I have been in two hurricanes and one typhoon, and trust me....the reminates we get are NOT hurricanes in the sense that a hurricane is a long durration of sustained winds greater than 74 MPH....but some of these did spawn Microbursts which did reach over 74 MPH....so I will give you that....for a short period of time.  But to be fair....all these have been downgraded to less than a hurricane prior to entering into Arizona.

 

LOL.  Although I wouldn't trust Wikipedia, since anyone can create these and can edit these.  Even the title is a tad bit wrong.

Arizona can get hurricanes.  If the hurricane comes up through Rocky Point and the Coloraro, it will hit Arizona.  Here is a list of tropical storms and hurricanes to make land fall in Mexico and travel into Arizona

I would strongly suggest that anyone interested in the Emergency
Communications side of Ham Radio participate in this webinar.  Arizona
doesn't get Hurricanes (well not yet....when California falls off into
the Pacific Ocean we might....LOL) but these are the types of nets that
any Ham can participate regardless of where you are located.  Reason
being is, they might need someone with power and access to phones to
relay info.  Same with the Mobile Maritime net on 14.300 MHz.  It's also
a good net to listen to, just to get a sense of how a formal net works,
and what is actually going on.
