10. Local NWS person called it a cold hurricane.
I would like to quibble. It is the pacific and in the pacific they are called typhoons. But I know why they are using the more familiar term in the Western Pacific.
Another resume' entry...Quibblemaster

13. 'Typhoon' is the term for the northwest Pacific. In the northeast Pacific, where
California is, they are referred to as hurricanes. Kaboink!!
Of course, referring to this system as any form of tropical cyclone is poetic license...

The cousin might as well lay down and die.
She's never going to learn.

gNads just kills me with her ignorance that she believes to be superior to all others. So funny
:hi5: Skul.

She even probably throws the toaster's instruction pamphlet out with the box.

Gnads is the same person who gets the mega-extended warranty on an object which already has a lifetime warranty.

Plonk.
That is all.

17. And why I posted the warnings before the system hit 48 hours ago
it is leaving a real mark,
San Diego is expected (and on track) to get the rain total of a month, in 36 hours.
I think there is a continuity issue with your response, nads. How about addressing the error you made about typhoons?

As others have noted, the nomenclature depends on where it is or where it forms. But this response is for an anecdote.
One of my tours in my Navy career was with VW 1, the "Typhoon Trackers" based in Agana, Guam. I was a flight engineer in WC 121 aircraft, the old Lockheed triple tail Constellation.
Flying into the eye of a typhoon at night was an exciting event. Entering the eye, circling while climbing, and exiting at the top into clear unturbulent air was a great adventure. In large part due to this experience, I can hold an open coffee cup in a car without spilling it.

Well now, there's a skill you can be proud of.

Well, actually, her ignorance really IS superior to all others.

The bald dwarf is of course implying that stupid Americans, as opposed to slavicjewishmexican lunatics, would not understand the word "typhoon".
Instead she comes across as usual - as an arrogant ignoramus.

I always assumed it depended on which side of the Date Line you were as to whether it was a typhoon or hurricane. Oh well.

Good catch. ;) In a few more years, my brain may be as scrambled as the gNads.
