hamradio Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 5 hours ago, txfilmfan said: It's the coldness of the water off the US west coast that kills off hurricanes in the Pacific. There's only been 4 storms since 1900 with at least tropical storm strength to affect California: 1939, Joanne (1972), Kathleen (1976) and Nora (1997) All but the first actually made landfall in Baja California. The 1939 storm came ashore at Long Beach. A contributing factor in why the west has geologically stayed so dry. 2nd reason, Cascades and Coastal ranges block wet moist air coming from the Pacific and the Rocky mountains block any moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Known as a "rain shadow" There were wetter and MUCH DRYER periods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Ah, but that was before my time. And some would figure the water off the West coast would be warmer than the East. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone It is, if you go at least as far north as NJ/NY... It's all that yellow and orange area that breeds hurricanes. They can keep feeding off the warm water until they reach 40 degrees N latitude or further. In the Pacific, they start to encounter colder water even in the tropics (20 degrees N) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamradio Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Considering the thread name keeps changing, would make a great database if one wants to know the names of tropical storms / hurricanes since August 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping drainage cleared from debris is a must for any flat roof. Since this is hurricane alley, the downspouts should had been in excess of normal.
