Hurricane Milton

[Rei is Shit.]

broke: the glowies have a weather machine, and they're using it to wipe out large sections of Trump votes
woke: Zeus and Poseidon have a final solution to the american question

Chinese weather control is defeating American weather control right now.

I am not an engineer so I can't answer this question, but I think that it's worth noting that seventy years after its first flight, Hercules turboprops are still in production. There's been a lot of design tweaking, but the basic aircraft still has to be bettered.

Its all about what altitude and speed the plane in question is designed for;

 

[Got Milk!]

That weather YT video posted earlier showed that whole purple area getting cat 3 winds. I've seen this nowhere else. Anyone else seeing this? Even the 8am update still says a 30mi radius for hurricane Force winds. That purple zone is around 150mi top to bottom. Probably more .

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

It becoming unstable is good right? Means it has a higher chance of weakening before landfall?

sorta? it would mean the winds are weaker which is good, but if it sorta mushes into a collapsed blob of giant rain and limps across to the Atlantic, or just bleeds out over the middle of the state it might be a lot more trouble for flooding compared to the damage of it just blasting across the state fast and hard

Scrambles, the Death Dealer

I wonder if people would get the fuck out of the way of the death dealing hurricane, if we stopped naming them faggot names. Who the hell is scared of fucking Milton?

It might be easier to convince grandpa to leave the house if "Satan's Revengeance" was coming his way.

Don't know. Just a thought.

While the windfield is expanding as we speak due to the wind shear Milton is running into, the category 3 winds definitely won't be as widespread as that graphic is showing. Maybe a few miles from the eyewall at best.

Also, how do those guys fly into the hurricane without it crashing the plane?

On instruments and below turbulence penetration speed.

The engineer in me decided to convert the pressure differential to psi and holy fuck. From 915 to standard pressure is 1.42 psi, which doesn't sound like much until you realize how many square inches is in something.
I would guess the eye wall is what you'd want to measure, which was what, 10 miles? That's something like 2 million pounds of force per INCH of height in a storm for something like 1.19 trillion pounds total force. No fucking wonder they make winds that fast.
Of course this is all going to be wildly off and I assumed a lot while knowing nothing about the weather.
Even difference between storm pressure and the "regular" pressure at that altitude and the regular pressure is also really far away, increasing the amount of air in between (and increasing momentum, lowering wind speeds,) yada yada

The heat of the ocean is the driver, imagine the enthalpy involved in strengthening of the hurricane.

Fuck talking to ChatGPT or retard AIs when I can ask in this thread. Clearly that is a turboprop. They’re all turboprops. What’s the advantage of turboprops over jets when sticking your planedick into the giant storm vagina?

When it comes down to selection of a plane to do this with it probably has more to do with them being large 4 engine utility planes with a wide operating speed range than turboprop vs jet. As mentioned in other posts turboprops are typically more efficient but not being aerodynamically optimized for higher speeds is also a big deal. Unfortunately the P3s are probably going to be retired in 2030 and replaced with more C130s, they have had a long run and logged tons of flight hours.

I also don't know about how the intake on the C-130 or P-3 Orion is set up, but if a turbofan ingests too much water, or hail, or airframe ice, etc. it can lead to a compressor stall and kill the engine. I don't know if the turbine intake on these jets are set up to mitigate this since they're modified to take the brunt of a hurricane in other ways, but I wouldn't be suprised.

It's still basically a straight shot down the throat of the intake from the opening. There is no inertial separator unlike in some PT6 equipped aircraft. It's down to the engines being able to handle a lot of water ingestion and avoiding areas of excessive precipitation. They plan their routes through hurricanes well, the missions all fly a similar pattern at similar altitudes.

Landfall is predicted to be Longboat Key south of Tampa Bay as of the forecast discussion from today at 5 AM EDT.

I propose we give every hurricane a nigger name so people will use their instinct to cross the street and leave the path of these hurricanes.

 

[x3firehexx]

Why are all the hurricanes given those fag ass names.
Call em hurricane "EXTERMINATOR" THEN people will actually be scared and run for their asses.
What sort of name is "Milton" anyway. My grandma will be a lot more convinced to get outta there if it's named "Satan's asshole" or whatever and not fuckin' milton.
Milton sounds like that one cousin who rarely comes by anyway. Either that or the uncle.

Like what? Jamal?

You could name the Hurricane YOU WILL DIE NO SERIOUSLY ALL CAPS NO CAP YOU WILL DIE! and you'd have people going there to prove "them" wrong. You'd have religious freaks going down to stop the hurricane with the power of God. People killing other people ahead of time because who is going to know. You'll have people going there on purpose to get lost or to die.

The only way you would be able to save more people would be a literal act of God, be it some magic surprise dome or a literally hand coming from above and scooping everyone up.

Honestly name wouldn't mean anything. People know what can happen, but it always happens somewhere else, never to them. Until is does and they are dead.

I would probably get the fuck out of Dodge if Hurricane Trayvon was careening toward my state.

 

[pixel_lion]

I always wanted to fly on one of those hurricane hunter C130s, it sounds awesome

NOAA was using a tandem of the Gulfstream IV and Lockheed Orion when I was tracking hurricane hunter flights yesterday but the USAF did have a C130 Weatherbird going at the same time which was cool to see.

I've seen a program where a film crew rode along for one of these flights, as you can imagine, every single thing in those planes are bolted down, it's a bumpy ride!

 

[Autistic Integrity]

155 mph so its slowed down a bit and is CAT 4 but the 915 MB minimum central pressure means its still has some sort of potential to keep going nuts.

heres a flood thing NOAA made at 4:20 for some reason

edit: current flight it getting readings of 917 and 923

I keep seeing a version of this posted. It's because it will work once. When "Satan's Fiery Sword" comes through and takes out a Huddle House in Chiefland and more livestock than people, no one will give a fuck about "Galaxy Destroyer 9000". And you'll be right back here with the same problems but you'll be naming natural disasters after monster trucks and Mountain Dew flavors instead of just people.

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

And if not that, why aren't that using that now when they run out of letters?

 

[not william stenchever]

All those flapping wings caused this!! We need to eliminate all birds, just like the Chinese did.

Mao wasn't fooled, he knew birds were weather control machines built by the US government.

Needs some audio with it.

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Reporting in from the midwest. Lots of random normies becoming vocal about the government controlling the weather and whipping up

I bet.

Now fuck off back to the US Politics thread before you piss Null off again and we have to suffer him whining.

 

[Anonitolia]

Good morning, I told you so!


Very curious as to how this'll affect Milton. Isn't Milton undergoing another eyewall replacement right now, too? What would happen if it crashed into this disturbance while still at hurricane strength?
