Hi Marty-
I was struck by "these huge cruise ships". As one who has been
through a numbeer of hurricanes in the Atlantic, mostly on 30,000 ton
aircraft carriers, your cruise ships are not that huge. Nothing, in fact,
made by man is THAT huge, when mother nature really gets into one of her
frenzies. Our carrier was a midget, in the late forties, compared even
then with the Midway class, and one of those, steaming in our company, had
aircraft wasshed off the flight deck. We pitied the poor destroyer
sailors, tossing and bobbing as they kept their stations on the edge of
our task group.
I think that Brian summed up the present state of knowledge of
hurricane dynamics pretty well. Weather prediction is one of the future
targets of future large scale computer evelopment.
Regards,
Jack
