These are the weather bouys. 42001 is right in the path and about 50
miles away (when I typed this note)
watch "Combined plot of Wind Speed, Gust, and Air Pressure" and see
the storm build. I bet it goes down in the few hours.

I watched Kartina come ashore on the east gulf bouys and saw them
start dropping offline.

Cool! At 1550 GMT, waves at 42001 were 32.5 feet, barometer falling
rapidly.


What is so cool about that?

You twit, it IS cool, cool as hell! I find it very interesting,
watching the wave height grow, the barometric pressure fall, etc. Are
you really so ****ing uptight that and unconcerned about science that
you don't find this stuff fascinating, hence "cool"?


Why does it take you 2 or 3 tries to answer a simple question? I have now
seen 3 different answers from you on this. Make up your mind already.

I may find a storm interesting. I do not find a category 5 hurricane as
cool though.

BTW: Do you find that using extremely foul language and attacking the other
person in your reply somehow makes it more credible? Do you think that
folks here have more respect for you by using that language in your replies?

I find that it's frustrating getting anything through your thick skull.
Do you think that by lying about not posting off topic, lying about not
going to call people petty, childish names, lying about not going to
post negatively about others makes you more credible? Have you noticed
that the only one posting in this thread, that doesn't think that
watching the data from the Gulf bouys is cool, is you? Did you notice
that I never said that "a category 5 hurricane (is) cool"? Did you
notice the cool comment was BEFORE mentioning the data, but was a
direct comment to the person posting the LINK?? Hmmm???

Is lying about motorcycles cool?

Thank you for making my point, that you were once again WRONG.
It should probably be pointed out that "wave height" is the wave top
in reference to sea level. If you were there in a boat the wave would
actually be close to twice that big since there is also a valley.

Wave heights on the Great Lakes are measured "From Trough to Crest".
Also, if I remember correctly, Bowditch classifies wave height as the
distance from the trough to the crest of a wave, equal to double the
amplitude, and measured perpendicular to the direction of advance. This
then, should be the correct way to measure wave height.

Sounds right, although someone in this discussion (and I'm too relaxed to go
back and see who) believes that when your boat comes down from the crest of
a wave, it only settles halfway to the trough. I'd love to know how,
considering that my yacht's only 14' long and things can get "interesting"
in big waves.

His fictional motorcycle is more interesting than your ongoing obsession
with it, John. You need to get seriously drunk so you can forget.

No, thank the stars. I've got a mind, and don't go off on mentally
strange tangents where I repeat the same statement in hundreds of
posts, over and over and over.

Who are you?

Why do you ask?

Treat him for both conditions. Something's bound to work.
