It wasn't the usual sunny cool days it was always..the weather was really dark in the morning and then near the afternoon the sky was full of clouds. i thought it would sprinkle but then as the day went on it started to sprinkle, then heavy rain...NOW THUNDER!!! but not like regular lights kind..this was really loud roars that vibrated and shook the house a lil~~!! OMG!! it was soo freaky!!! im soo scared earlier to go to sleep....because i sleep in a bunk bed (im on bottom..booo!) and i thought that if it got worse and everything were to fall..iono..the bed above me would fall..thats what i kept thinking (haha..im soo paranoid)..but then now it all stopped..just light rain and some flash of lightning now..havent been scared for a while...ahh well..something fr me to write in my journal now..

im praying for those involve in the hurricanes~~i know they were more scared and sad than i am right now...

thanks bea

lol that is some weird weather =x...

anyways.. hurricanes are strengthened by heat.

so the hotter it gets... the stronger the hurricane is

over here...it's grey. no sun, not really raining. i remember once, it rained, hailed, sun, snow, thunder...all in the same day. but not much diversity in wa when it comes to the weather. it's just usually crappy, cept the summer. then it's sunny sometimes, rainy the other times.

[JiNo]

Here we just got some light rain and some strong winds nothing too severe..it didnt go to thunder and lightning though.

well firstly, Day After Tomorrow depicts physical phenomenons that are unrealistic and physically impossible, so no worries.

global warming does play a role in the forming of hurricanes, but that is not a major influence. hurricanes would form whether we have the growing crisis of global warming or not.

hurricanes (also called typhoons in other locations) only form over large bodies of water. because of equatorial (tropical) wind patterns, tropical storms form. essentially, a hurricane is just a tropical storm that is formed with the right factors coming into play: low pressure, warm and moist air, warm temperature

it has to do with the air/winds moving westward over water. as the warm air rises over water and cools, condenses and falls back down, this cycle creates energy that feeds the moving mass of air and gives it this cyclonic effect. the energy formed causes the cloud mass to rotate counterclockwise (if i remember correctly) and continues to move quickly with energy being provided as long as the hurricane remains over warm water.

oh ya, IF you ever have a choice (lol?), you DO NOT want to be where the top right-hand side of the hurricane will hit. that is 12:00 to 3:00 with clock directions. that quadrant is the most powerful and most damaging as the violent cloud mass is rotating counterclockwise.

wow...thats like what happened over here a couple days ago. it was just a regular sunny but a little cloudy day. then after school some of us saw lightning and heard the thunder coming from the mountains east of us [ i live about 10 miles from the coast...and 10-15 miles from the mountains].then on my way home from dropping of my friend, it started to sprinkle but then stopped. then at around i say...1 am, i woke up and heard lighting and thunder really close to where i live, ha so i turned off my comuter because i was scared that lightning would strike through...after that i slept through it then all of a sudden...FLASH BOOM...at around 2:30 am...the lightning was right above my house..i mean RIGHT ABOVE it. you could acually hear the electricity from the bolt.it was so loud and shook the whole house and car alarms went off. it lasted for like 30 minutes...it was pretty scary. ha i dropped to the floor too cuhz my bed is right next to the window. im glad i turned off my computer. my friend said that a bolt hit right next to his car. thats scary. lol then the days after that it was just another normal sunny day. btw i live in san diego, cali.

Weird....I'm down in Los Angeles and yesterday it was partially cloudly in the morning then the sun would come out, go away, and come back.

Then during my 5th period class, it started to rain. It went on for like 2-5 minutes, then stopped. Then the sun came back out.
