Default Indian cyclone Category 4, "massive" and could be very bad news.

Lots of other information sources.








I've read more than 1 newspaper report which said waves could reach 3-4m. What?! As waves go that's nothing. After all it was larger than that in North Sea recently, at Sevenstones off Land's End anything a 5m swell occurs several times a year and the Cribbar reef at Newquay gets 8m at some point most years. The point is this is misinformation, it is the storm surge that could well be 3m. Now that is big.








Certainly looks like a very serious storm.








Anyway, here's a big Cornish wave:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckGbmXlCd_0








Here's more of a Cornish surge in the centre of Perranporth. http://www..youtube.com/watch?v=aum7a9R10Bo during the now legendary March 2008 storm

Well you know with the AGW sisters you are bound to get amplification of any weather normal phenomenon which backs up their pet hobby-the end of the world.



Is it actually a hurricane yet let alone cat 3 ?


Okay cyclone not hurricane.
