Kyle and Laura could be your next pending Catastrophe.Lets see if Kyle and Laura pan out in this situation??? Looks like Kyle and Laura can arrive somewhere on the East coast after forming in the Eastern Carribean Sea or Western Atlantic. This hurricane season I want to try something different with the "Tunnel" simulation. Lets suppose a catagory 5 hurricane is going to hit the USA this year with 165 MPH winds. In order for such a strong hurricane to exist we will assume it is well organized over 90 degree water. Lets assume the tunnels are in cooling phase generating electrical power and lets see how the computer model will compute wind speed of the hurricane based on SSTs prior to landfall.
Since the Tunnels can cool SSTs all the way down to 70 degrees lets have the computer calculate wind speed with every degree of drop from the 90 degree water in which the hurricane exists prior to landfall. This should work anywhere in the GOM or along the East coast. The first SST calculation at 90 degrees is given.

Will different computer models give us different results? How many models are out there that can give us such results.
