Hurricane is stuck

 Nothing worse than a stuck hurricane.  We can have huge flooding disasters by a stuck rain storm, which looks perfectly ordinary, until it dumps a slug of water because it can't go anywhere.  We've had lots of these in Canada.

A stuck hurricane is on a different level, and may only have been recorded in historic times.  To look at this requires physics, and we won't get that from the weather people.  They rely on their patterns, and it is sad.  Every Gulf hurricane that I have seen, even with historic tracks, just toddles its way up north to Toronto.


Look at the sag of the cold blob, drooping down on both sides and pinning the hurricane.  


It will be so much fun for the physics-less nooa to explain this.  It's all clange.  A stuck rainstorm can produce a slug of rain of 4 to 8 inches.  We don't know about stuck hurricanes.  Are we talking about a full metre of rain?  Who knows - no physics.

ps.  all this discussion is moot.  The hurricane heavy rain is now mostly out to sea.  No physics reckoning here.


The yellow is the rain.  Yellow Rain on the ocean is wonderful, if it turns back, not so much.
