Forum:2011 Pacific typhoon season

Welcome
I don't know if anyone will be here for now, but here's a fine start to the Pacific typhoon season! Ryan1000 22:17, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

JMA Tropical Depression
Got a new tropical depression about 750 miles east of the Philippines. Hurricane Kiewii 20:55, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've never seen a depression in that part of the ocean before.10'Q.'INVEST 21:28, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Now RamonAllanjeffs 03:56, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 23W
Expected to become a TS.10'Q.'INVEST 12:16, October 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * The track map shows it could hit the Philippines.. could add more damage from Nesat and Nalgae. Hurricane Kiewii 15:20, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now Tropical Depression Ramon. Hurricane Andrew (444) 21:12, October 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not named by JMA yet, but PAGASA names them first when they go into their area of responsibility. Because it's not named by JMA, we should leave it's secondary name in Parenthesis in the active storms header. Ryan1000 22:58, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Banyan
Now named by JMA. Hurricane Kiewii 11:54, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 40 mph winds, gusts to 60 mph. Moving WNW at 10 mph. Hurricane Kiewii 14:34, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Forecast to be a typhoon. Hurricane Andrew (444) 21:39, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Banyan (2nd time)
Back down to a depression. Due to restrengthen as it reenters sea. Hurricane Kiewii 10:23, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Remnants of Banyan
There it goes.10'Q.'INVEST 00:01, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

JMA Tropical Depression
Yes... another tropical depression. This time in the South China Sea. Hurricane Kiewii 12:01, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Its gone. Hurricane Kiewii 12:17, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Retirements at a Glance
We have some storms and some possible retirement canidates in the WPac. Anyone have any calls here? Here's mine:


 * Aere - 40% - It killed more than 40 people in the Philipines and caused several million dollars in damage. If it's PAGASA name, Bebeng, became retired, Aere itself also has a chance as well. However, just because a storm´s PAGASA name becomes retired doesn´t exactly mean it´s JMA name will too.


 * Songda - 8% - A very rare May category 5, but fortunately it didn't cause signifigant damage on land.


 * Sarika - 45% - Well, this thing did do 248 million in damage and 29 deaths, so although Sarika was the weakest storm thus far, it was also the most damaging storm thus far with a moderate death toll, so it certainly has a chance. But like Ma-On, China has seen much worse (Chanchu, Saomai, Bilis, Rananim, ect).


 * Haima - 5% - It was minor, and caused no more impact than Songda, in general.

Ryan1000 17:09, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Meari - 5% - It was feared to be stronger, but it never caused signifigant damage on land.
 * Ma-on - 10% - It only hit as a category one storm, it apparently wasn´t that bad after all. It did do about 27 million in damages and kill 5 people, but Japan has seen much worse than that.
 * Tokage - 0% - What an epic fail.
 * Nock-Ten - 65% - It killed a lot of people in the Philipines and Vietnam, but it's not like they haven't seen this before (Xangsane, Angela, Durian, etc.), so I'm going to be conservative and say maybe to Nock-Ten. However, "Juaning" is gone due to the damage and deaths it did in the Philipines.
 * Muifa - 65% - The latest damage figure is out, and my opinion on Muifa is similar to mine on Sarika; it killed a fair ammount of people and cause somewhat extensive damage, but the areas affected by Muifa have gone through much worse.
 * Merbok - 0% - Other than becoming a typhoon briefly, what did this thing do?
 * Nanmadol - 75% - Destruction in the Philipines and Taiwan was quite severe, so this thing is the first storm with a serious chance of retirement.
 * Talas - 75% - Whoa, I didn't expect to see 59 deaths in Japan from this typhoon. It dropped near-record rainfall in some places and was very devastating too. Overall, Japan has seen worse, and it's not a gurantee, but still, 59 deaths is a big number for Japan, and it has a descent chance of getting the boot.
 * Noru - 0% - Did I miss something?
 * Kulap - 0% - It tried.
 * Roke - 20% - It killed 13 people, but Talas was much worse for them, not to mention Japan has seen typhoons like Roke almost every year.
 * Sonca - 0% - Gave me something to look at for a few days.
 * Nesat - 75% - Over 60 deaths, lots of damage, this thing's definitely a canidate.
 * Haitang - 5% - Nothing exceptionally severe.
 * Nalgae - 20% - Super typhoon landfall in the Philipines, but it killed only 10 people, so chances aren't exactly in favor of us seeing a retirement with Nalgae.

Mine:

JMA: 

Aere - 80% - DEVESTATED a whole country, left millions of dollars in it's path, got its PAGASA name removed, no way this monster is staying, he'd have to pull a Karl not to be removed.

Songda - 4% - Very notable, but little damage.

Sarika - 95% - EXTREMELY damaging, was worse than Aere, and left lots of damage to China. I don't think Sarika has a chance of staying at all.

Haima - 25% - Added on to Sarika, but not much.

Meari - 0% - OOOH...FISHIE!

Ma-on - 40% - I saw the waves crash on shore (via video) and Ma-on has a good chance.

Tokage - 0% - Nothing at all.

Nock-ten - 70% - $140 million (of) damages and 55 deaths in Vietnam, China and the Philippines? Likely to be retired this December.

Muifa - 50% - Devestated China, Korea, and and Japan! This has a VERY good shot at going. But then, it wasn't Aere or Sarika bad.

Merbok - 0% - Okay... what did this do?

Nanmadol - 50% - See Ma-on's section

Talas - 40% - See Ma-on's section.

Noru - 0% - Fishie.

Kulap - 0% - Epic FAIL!

Roke - 20% - Overshadowed by Talas.

Sonca - 0% - No.

Nesat - 99% - See Pedring's section.

Haitang - 10% - Overshadowed by Sarika and Haima.

Nalgae - 90% - See Nesat's and Pedring's sections.

Banyan - TBA - Still Active

PAGASA: 

Amang - 0% - What did this do again?

(Bebeng already removed)

Chedeng - 1% - See Amang's section.

Dodong - 4% - The chances aren't very good, because more damage happened in China.

Egay - 2% - See Dodong's section.

Falcon - 0% - Don't you love fishies?

Goring - 1% - Ditto.

Hanna - 0% - And she did nothing (again).

Ineng - 2% - Because Japan saw more from this than the Phillipines.

Juaning - 95% - P1 billion of damages and 52 deaths? No way, this has a very big chance of being retired.

Kabayan - 4% - See Dodong's section.

Lando - 0% - see Amang, Chedeng, Falcon and Hanna's sections.

Mina - 100% - She has been retired.

Nonoy - 0% - .This was nothing.

Onyok - 0% - The epic fail.

Pedring - 100% - WHOA! WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

Quiel - 96% - Just because Pedring was worse.

Ramon - TBA - Still active

Update: Juaning has been retired. IMO, it had to go because it had both more damage and deaths than Bebeng (Aere) back in May. Hurricane Andrew (444)

Update 3: Pedring is gone, too. (Do we have the record number of PAGASA retirees in one year?)

Hurricane Andrew (444)

Yes we do. 10Q.INVEST 22:28, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Replacement names
No harm in starting this. Does anyone have replacement names for Bebeng and/or Juaning?

Here are some:

Female J names (Juaning): Janisa, Jardena, June, Jada, Jade, Jeanette, June, Jun, Judit, Judy, Julia

Female B names (Bebeng) (continuing HM99's list): Bonnie, Brittany, Bri, Bonny, Bertha, Bebe, Belinda, Belle, Bella, Bebel

Female M names (Mina): (continuing Allan's list): Minnie, Machi, Maci-Lei, Macy, Madeira, Maddy, Mab, Madison,Maelianna, Magda, Mai, Maida, Maiko, Mala, Mariana

Male P names (Pedring): Peter, Pazman, Pancrazio, Palti, Parker, Pembroke, Pradeep, Pruit, Pusan

None of these will likely verify, but honestly, no one really cares about this section anymore. Hurricane Andrew (444) 12:35, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, this was one of my favorites; I guess no-one started this up yet because not that many names have been retired. Anyway, since I'm not sure what gender Bebeng or Juaning are:
 * Bebeng (male):
 * Bart, Benny, Bobby, Brendan, Billy, Bert, Bernie, Bertie, Barry, Blake, Bruce, Bono (Who knows? There might be U2 fans in PAGASA) --HurricaneMaker99 15:27, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bebeng (female):
 * Barbie, Becky, Betty, Brenda, Babe, Beverly, Bianca, Brianna
 * Juaning (male):
 * Jack, Jeff, James, Jordan, Joseph, Josh, Joshua, Joe, Johnny, Jerry, Jim, Johann
 * --HurricaneMaker99 15:27, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know what name may be submitted for Juaning or Bebeng, but in the case of JMA replacements, it will be really tough to guess because replacement names for JMA names don't have to begin with the same letter as the retiree in question. There aren't any reasonable retirement canidates as of now anyways for the JMA. Neither Juaning or Bebeng hit the Philipines as hard as other storms in the past, but given the number of people they killed and the fact the Philipines are much more prepared now, they likely were pretty bad for them anyways, and I won't argue about it. Ryan1000 00:13, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * HurricaneMaker, Bebeng and Juaning are both female names. Hurricane Andrew (444) 21:20, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Replacement for Juaning is Julia. Hurricane Andrew, you got it right! Cyclone10 19:37, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cyclone10, where did you hear that fact? Hurricane Andrew (444) 23:20, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia. Cyclone10 00:49, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not on season article, but storm article.Cyclone10 00:51, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mina is alo gone for me replacements melissa maiya misa monica milly Allanjeffs 22:43, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Allan, Mena is not a good choice because unlike Rita/Rina and Stan/Sean, not only is that name just one letter off, it sounds the same too. Hurricane Andrew (444) 01:05, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Andrew is that I was gonna wirte Misa instead of Mena Allanjeffs 03:40, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Note/s: The replacement names should be somewhat Filipino-sounding, and also,  there is still no replacement for Juaning . The replacement names will be announced the year that the names would be used again, just like Milenyo and Reming of 2006 - their replacements were announced four years later (Mario and Ruby; 2010; though both of them were not used during that season due to [the] lack of storms).
