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)

Tropical Storm 16W
Looks pretty good, but not yet named. 10L.NONAME 17:47, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

This storm is Noru in my book; it won't be affecting land, though it could become a typhoon as it heads northward out to sea. Ryan1000 18:21, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Expected to affect Russia. 10L.NONAME 21:05, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Noru
It's now Noru. Anonymous 2.0 18:49 (UTC+8)

It's not going to get past 50 mph. 10L.NONAME 15:22, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Noru
It's already dying.10L.NONAME 01:58, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Noru (2nd time)
It's back.10L.NONAME 15:29, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Whoa, that was a little unexpected. Oh well. It'll probrably go away soon anyways. Ryan1000 01:14, September 6, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Noru (2nd time)

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 - 25% - 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 - 40% - 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 - 45% - 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 - 40% - 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 - 70% - Destruction in the Philipines and Taiwan was quite severe, so this thing is the first storm with a serious chance of retirement.
 * Talas - ?? - Impacts in Japan are currently unknown.
 * Noru - 0% - Did I miss something?

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 - (I'll tell you after it fizzles)

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.

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 2: Mina is gone, too. Hurricane Andrew (444)

Here's mine:


 * TD 2- 0% - No brainer.


 * Amang- 0% - It turned away from the Phillipines.


 * Aere- 50% - It only did damage in the Phillipines.


 * Bebeng- Gone


 * Songda- 0% - Other than reaching STY strength, what did this thing do?


 * Chedeng- 5% - Not enough damage.


 * Sarika- 40% - China has seen worse than this.


 * Dodong- 0% - More damages were reported from China.


 * Haima- 20% - It did some damage but it didn't do enough.


 * Egay- 0% - Went above Phillipines.


 * Meari- 5% - Little damage reported.


 * Falcon- 0% - See Egay's section.


 * TD


 * Goring- 0% - See Falcon's section.


 * Ma-on- 5% - Japan has seen worse than this.


 * Ineng- 0% - It was never close.


 * Tokage- 0% - Fishspinner.


 * Hanna- 0% - See Amang's section.


 * Nock-Ten- 70% - Lots of deaths in this storm.


 * Juaning- Gone.


 * Muifa- 40% - See Sarika's section.


 * Kabayan- 0% - See Dodong's section.

 * Noru- 0% - What a fail.

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, 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

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), but were not used during that season.
