They are even talking about needing a bigger Storm Category scale as Patricia was “off the Scale”.
I have never seen so much hype about a non event in all my life (68 years).
The Paris boondoggle is the obvious reason.
Have you seen the costs for it, 40,000 delegates and 183 million Euros and that is without travel costs.
There are some people whom it was not a non event! Some people were killed in Guatemala and its neighbors – before the depression grew as a major storm.
However, I feel that some were quite disappointed when they had the worst storm of the history at hand, and what happened was just a piff.
Could it be they measured the depression (<900 mb) wrong? One sonde falling in and being broken, given off-calibrated results?
Freud would have had a field day with the alarmists. If academia ever exits its leftist intellectual death spiral, it will have decades of material rich in lessons on what not to do, and how not to do it.
To the true believers and usefull brainwashed idiots, Particia will still remain the worst hurricane EVER, even if it only blew down a few tree limbs and unroofed one slum building about as well contructed as the backyard forts we used to build as kids. Expect a lot of swooning over Patricia’s might at the Paris Boondoggle!
Media did walk back the hype not until after blaming it on agw.Oops never mind nothing to see here anymore

I am not certain of the 1959 storm track, but this one hit the mountains. Still, the eye wall collapsed very far off shore.
The maps show both storm tracks very close. Does anyone know how far apart the storm tracks were at land-fall.
“They are even talking about needing a bigger Storm Category scale as Patricia was “off the Scale”.”
These go to eleven!
Who “planned” 320 KPH winds? Freudian slip much?
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Maybe it was written by Phil Jones who wasn’t going to be “worried” unless temperatures didn’t rise for 15 years.
Or maybe the guys at Colorado University’s Sea Level Research Group who referred to a lull in sea level rise as a “Pothole on Road to Higher Seas”.
When the definitive book is written there should be a chapter on Freudian slips.

Please don’t use Freud as the standard of moderation. He was off the charts too.
I say let’s Freudians and Alarmists fight.

Or, maybe it’s the translator

Right. “Expected” would have been a better translation.
The devil planned 320 but people erected prayer wheels and stood in his way.

So was there damage anywhere consistent with 135 mile per hour winds or was that number a misrepresentation as well.
There was apparently but it was in a very sparsely populated area.

120 meter waves. isn’t that about 400 feet, katrina only had 40 foot waves and sandy only had 32 foot waves.
It could have been worse …. they could have claimed waves of a qizillion feet … think of the children.
Since it hit Mexico, you spelled quetzallion wrong.
