Never thought a storm could almost breach the sound barrier. That's quite amazing!

wow scary the pure power of it...

Ok where you hear this bS?

Mefo · 12-27-2004, 04:29 AM

900km/h ? damn if that's true, that's fucking amazing

dodger21 · 12-27-2004, 04:29 AM

lol it didn't HIT at 900km/h. It travels around 900km/h out in the middle of the ocean where the ocean floor is miles underneath. Once it nears the shore and begins to rise, it DRASTICALLY slows down.

It's not bullshit.
Both Discovery Channel has been running programs about this and CNN reported it as well.

1) The wave tops on open sea are not much higher than 2 meters. That is why you do not notice them until they reach the shore.

2) The 500km/h speed is on the ocean FLOOR on OPEN SEA.

3) The speed drops dramatically once it hits shallower water, and the wave then builds up.

This of course does not make it any less dangerous, but just wanted to point this out so everyone understood.

It really works just like the tsunami you see in Deep Impact. Just a (little) smaller. 14m (which the highest ones were as far as I know) is still extremely high of course. And these waves do not just get 14m high and come russing to you, they start small, so you do not notice them and then they hit shallower water, pull all the water away from the shore and build up to 14m in a matter of seconds, and then just hit the shore.

Exactly

i heard a similar number as well. If you check the picture that KRL posted it makes sense.

I said hit 900km/h - not hit AT 900km/h meaning that 900 was its top speed.

I'm just saying it's incredible a storm (ie a natural event) can reach those speeds.

Vitasoy · 12-27-2004, 05:18 AM

I can't imagine what it would sound like. And what the people are thinking when it breaks through the town

reynold · 12-29-2004, 02:26 AM

Scary!!!

Pornwolf · 12-29-2004, 02:54 AM

It doesn't matter if it was 900kmh or 90kmh it's all too damn fast!

That's nothing, winds on Neptune hit 2,400 km/h

The power of this natural force is amazing. I feel for those affected.
