mbga9pgf Report post Posted October 16, 2005 Even if it doesn't go the whole way, someone on financial sense pointed out that America will spend all of the coming long, cold Winter repairing it's 90%-down oil platforms in the Gulf, only for the next hurricane season to start soon afterwards. Things are at a turning point. Arrr... its only a tiddler. depth of 1002 Mb, unless it goes real deep dont expect this one to go wrecking any oil platforms or refineries!

gone west Report post Posted October 17, 2005 WILMA! Pressure down to 998mb. Given they way things have been behaving, this could be Cat 3 by the time it hits the half repaired rigs. Oil is already rising on this storm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

classixuk Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Arrr... its only a tiddler. depth of 1002 Mb, unless it goes real deep dont expect this one to go wrecking any oil platforms or refineries! You'll be wishing you hadn't said that mb! From the National Hurricane Center this morning: MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 150 MPH...240 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. WILMA IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE. THE HURRICANE COULD BECOME A CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE TODAY. How about you reply to this telling us that we needn't worry about house prices crashing as they've only dropped a wee amount! Now that would be helpful! Thanks!

Category 5 now, but not projected to hit the oil rig area. More likely to hit western Cuba and then southern Florida. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbga9pgf Report post Posted October 19, 2005 OOPS!!!! Good job I only use met rather than interpret it for my job! :0 That beast has got some energy in it. Having said that, October is peak Hurricane season when sea temps are at their highest average levels (you need sea temps in excess of 28 celcius to generate a hurricane). Hoping this one doesnt whack the states again,they have had their share of it this year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Sminty Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Whats everyone talking about. Its Cat 5. That will blow your fu*king hat off Been told by insurance modellers that this could be the biggest one of the season, and right at close of play, as Nov 1st if I think the end if the hurricane season. If it hits Florida/Miami, insurance market will take another massive hit. Premiums for all insurance will go up markedly next year, adding to inflation for businesses which will trickle through to everyone else! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
