Harvey revisited

I was unaware of volcanic activity for most of this afternoon although I had caught traces of a very quiet pool of noise.


Something close to 5 minutes ago I became aware of a ticking noise, akin to the tapping of knitting needles, that I recognised straight away as the signal for a cessation of an eruption.


I can only say that both signals were weak, the susurration of the eruption was very weak and I only just heard the tapping of the cease fire. That was at 21:50 on the 13 September, 2017. I doubt we will be getting news of that immediately unless it was a mountain already being studied at the time and even then I don't think the eruption will have been striking.


Either it was not impressive or it was very far away. It is hard to imagine a mountain that is much further away than Bogoslof, except of course that in another hemisphere, the sounds may not have been able to carry so far as the Aleutian Channel to the North Atlantic.

What the hell was this:

Tropical Depression GUCHOL 04-06 SEP 30

Typhoon-3 TALIM 08-13 SEP 105 Active

Tropical Depression TILAM 10-10 SEP                -       

Tropical Storm DOKSURI         11-13 SEP 60 Active



It is amazing how quickly Irma was dropped when they managed to hang on to Gert for so long: 

40.10  -58.40 08/17/00Z   90   967 -2

41.70  -54.00 08/17/06Z   85   968 -2

43.20  -50.00 08/17/12Z   70   975 -1

There was some activity in the Indian Ocean and in the Indonesian part of the Pacific that may have been responsible: Doksuri and Talim; Talim I think was powerful enough but what do I know?

Time and again it has been the smaller storm that was the factor in other stuff. Even Harvey was smaller than Irma.I think I missed something in the signal from yesterday that was not clearly marked but it was not too far from the beaten track of Indonesian ones. I will have to post a blog showing it for it is confused though interesting.
This is it:






These were from the forecast and were very confused.





These were weak as well as confused.





But it looks as though there is more to come despite then being short lived. Bearing in mid what else short lived could mean! (All the more so with the Indonesian being a smaller storm -as we found with Harvey.)
