TC "Billy" Revisited


I am completely fascinated by TC strengthening, as our regular readers know. These two images, just two days apart of TC "Billy" still gives me nightmares. This feature was a fairly disorganized wave on one day, and two days later is is a rapidly deepning, and very scarey storm. It just underscores to me how very little we know about the physics of tropical cycolgenesis and rapid strengthening, etc. The good news is it makes me happy that it is winter!
