TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 39
Issued at 11:55 pm WST on Wednesday, 29 March 2006
BY THE BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING CENTRE PERTH

A CYCLONE WARNING is now current for a SEVERE CATEGORY 4 CYCLONE (Escala australiana) for coastal
areas between De Grey and Minilya Roadhouse, extending inland to Tom Price,
Paraburdoo and Mount Augustus.

A CYCLONE WATCH extends south to Billabong Roadhouse and inland to Cue.

At 11pm WST SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE GLENDA was estimated to be
250 kilometres northwest of Port Hedland and
240 kilometres north of Karratha and
395 kilometres north northeast of Onslow
and was moving southwest at 15 kilometres per hour.

Very dangerous SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE GLENDA is expected to cross the coast
between Exmouth and Karratha, most likely Thursday afternoon or night.

Gales with gusts to 100 kilometres per hour are expected to develop on the
Pilbara coast overnight. As the cyclone approaches on Thursday, destructive
winds with gusts to 130 kilometres per hour are forecast,  becoming very
destructive with gusts to 265 kilometres an hour near the cyclone centre as it
crosses the coast.

Very destructive winds (vientos muy destructivos) will extend to inland parts of the western Pilbara on
Thursday night as the system moves further south.

Residents of Karratha and Onslow are specifically warned of the potential of a
very dangerous storm tide as the cyclone centre crosses the coast. Tides are
likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide mark with very dangerous
flooding and damaging waves.

Recent radar images have identified possible severe thunderstorm activity in the
vicinity of Port Hedland at 11:30pm, these thunderstorms may produce localised
damaging wind gusts over the next few hours.

Widespread heavy rain and flooding are likely in the western Pilbara and western
Gascoyne over the next few days.

PD: Alguien sabe que racha maxima de viento ha podido generar un huracan en la historia? Y rachas sostenidas? 

Los vientos más fuertes sobre la superficie en  un sistema tropical (Récord Mundial):

Un viento de 322 Km/h con ráfagas de hasta 338 Km/h el 17-18 de Agosto de 1969, en la costa de Alabama y Mississippi (EE.UU.), durante el Huracán Camille.



*Este récord es hasta la Temporada 2004 inclusive. Puede que fuera superado en la temporada del 2005.

Hola a todos..............Segun prensa australiana el huracan glenda ha alcansado cat5. escala australiana, no lo he podido conprobar  en la pagina del BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY AUSTRALIANO, ya que parece ser que todabia no la han actualizado..... pero mientras lo comprobamos les dejo la noticia................

Cyclone Glenda upgraded
From: AAP
March 29, 2006 
TROPICAL cyclone Glenda, off Western Australia's Pilbara coast, has intensified into a massive category five storm, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
The sixth tropical cyclone of the WA season reached category five strength at 8pm (AWST) yesterday as it travelled west-southwest roughly parallel to the Kimberley coast.
Gales with gusts to 125km/h may develop along the Pilbara coast between Wallal and Mardie as early as tonight but more likely early on tomorrow morning, the bureau said.

Glenda is expected to approach the coast later today and during Thursday.

There is the risk of very destructive winds during Thursday as the cyclone moves closer to the coast.

Residents and industry in the storm's projected path are battening down.

Cyclone Larry, which devastated parts of northern Queensland earlier this month, was also a category five storm.

¿La noticia de cuándo es? Glenda alcanzó esa Categoría ayer, en las dos escalas que se están utilizando, Saffir y la australiana.

Durante el día de hoy, ha ido perdiendo fuerza. No hace mucho era Categoría 4 (Escala australiana) y Categoría 3 (Escala Saffir).

Ermuleto es cierto que camille tubo esa intensidad en superficie terrestre, pero aparentemente no es el record mundial.
encontre en un foro esta info en ingles

Which is the most intense tropical cyclone on record?
Typhoon Tip in the Northwest Pacific Ocean on 12 October 1979 was measured
to have a central pressure of 870 mb and estimated surface sustained winds
of 85 m/s (165 kt, 190 mph) (Dunnavan and Diercks 1980). Typhoon Nancy on 12
September, 1961 is listed in the best track data for the Northwest Pacific
region as having an estimated maximum sustained winds of 95 m/s (185 kt, 213
mph) with a central pressure of 888 mb.
However, it is now recognized (Black
1992) that the maximum sustained winds estimated for typhoons during the
1940s to 1960s were too strong and that the 95 m/s (and numerous 83 to 93
m/s reports) is somewhat too high.

Note that Hurricane Gilbert's 888 mb lowest pressure (estimated from flight
level data) in mid-September 1988 is the most intense [as measured by lowest
sea level pressure] for the Atlantic basin (Willoughby et al 1989), it is
almost 20 mb weaker (higher) than the above Typhoon Tip of the Northwest
Pacific Ocean.

While the central pressures for the Northwest Pacific typhoons are the
lowest globally, the North Atlantic hurricanes have provided sustained wind
speeds possibly comparable to the Northwest Pacific. From the best track
database, both Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Allen (1980) have
winds that are estimated to be 85 m/s (165 kt, 190 mph). Measurements of
such winds are inherently going to be suspect as instruments often are
completely destroyed or damaged at these speeds.

90kts y 954mb. En estos momentos, está desatando toda su furia en tierra. Que pena, que nadie del foro haya recogido, en este topic, el momento del impacto. Ahora es Categoría 1 (Escala Saffir), pero seguramente, ha golpeado con más fuerza la costa.







Según este mapa de trayectoria, GLENDA ha golpeado con Categoría 3.

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 54
Issued at 9:10 pm WST on Thursday, 30 March 2006
BY THE BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING CENTRE PERTH

A CYCLONE WARNING is now current for a SEVERE CATEGORY 4 CYCLONE for coastal
areas between Dampier and Kalbarri and inland to Mount Augustus and includes
inland parts of the western Pilbara district.

A CYCLONE WATCH extends south to Jurien Bay and inland to Yalgoo, and includes
inland parts of the Gascoyne and Central West districts.

At 9pm WST SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE GLENDA was
5 kilometres to the southeast of Onslow and
115 kilometres east northeast of Exmouth
and was moving south southwest at 18 kilometres per hour over the past 6 hours.

The eye of SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE GLENDA was located over Onslow at 9pm.
Residents of Onslow are warned that very destructive winds will soon resume
without warning from a different direction. The cyclone briefly stalled as it
moved over the coast, but is expected to resume a south southwest track.

Destructive winds with gusts to 130 kilometres per hour are occurring on the
coast between Mardie and Exmouth. Very destructive gusts to 235 kilometres an
hour are expected near the cyclone centre, and are occurring on the coast in the
vicinity of Onslow.

Very destructive winds will extend southward though the western Pilbara
overnight and Friday as the system moves further south and gradually weakens.

Residents at Onslow are specifically warned of the potential for a very
dangerous storm tide as the cyclone centre crosses the coast. Tides are likely
to rise significantly above the normal high tide mark with very dangerous
flooding and damaging waves.

Widespread heavy rain and flooding are likely in the western Pilbara and western
Gascoyne over the next few days.

Details of SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE GLENDA at 9pm WST Thursday.
  Location of centre : within 20 kilometres of
                       Latitude 21.7 South Longitude 115.2 East.

Nanutarra should move to shelter.
YELLOW ALERT: People in or near the communities of Exmouth and Coral Bay should
commence action in preparation for the possibility of destructive winds.
BLUE ALERT: People in other communities between Coral Bay and Carnarvon,
including Carnarvon, should start taking precautions.
