He's on his way, but hes taking a divertion

Yeah, the predicted route for KARL is as shown below.

well its been known to happen

Hurricane Debbie 1961

green line = Tropical Depression
Yellow Line = Tropical Storm
Red Line = Hurricane
Purple Line = Major Hurricane
White Line = Extremely Dangerous Hurricane

Actually look where the last hurricane Karl ended up

Dale · 22-09-2004 10:14am

erm... it seems to be heading kinda our way, just like Debbie did $:\$

Not forgetting the infamous hurricane charlie-1985 or 86 I think, washed away bridges galore and put Bray co wicklow under a cornwall style flood/torrent 9ft deep.
The dodder covered half of Ballsbridge for that one aswell!

Charlie was a GOM huricane though and by the time it got here it was only an extratropical storm.

Debbie, like Karl is a Cape Verde hurricane.

edit: That five day forcast map is starting to look a bit silly why does it have to be zoomed out so far?

also with reference to hurricane Charley. It was August 1986 and I remember it well

Oh and dale I notice your a new member. Well Welcome to Boards.ie

I see Karl is heading to the North of us all, hopefully it doesnt change course. Ireland will get the worst the I'd recieve the left overs, thats if it does change course...

billy the squid · 23-09-2004 10:18am

It feels like its been windy here for the past week, I can't see this changing course at this stage, but then who would have thought Ivan would keep heading west as it did.

You will find these maps change like the weather

Well it looks like we are going to get the tail of hurricane Karl, we can expect some high wind anyway :eek:

Jebus, becuase it's a five day track.

The uncertainties are usually dominant in anything over three. With a hurricane or extra-tropical storm any track is best described as a guide, the way the NHC do them is best ie with enourmous areas of uncertainty. Even then the uncertainty tracks are probably understated.

Hurricane Karl
