[QUOTE="T.Tanilsoo, post: 956495, member: 311487"] Having some meteorological background, there are some wires crossed here. In English, "hurricane" refers to a tropical cyclone only. So technically, Fish wasn't in the wrong. 1987 storm was an extratropical one, albeit a heavy one and totally a crazy bad - it even exhibited a sting jet, analogous to a storm that caused record gusts in Denmark in 2013. Mainland languages like German have split the word. In German case, Orkan - Hurricane force wind, Hurrikan - Tropical hurricane. Also I understand that the forecast wasn't the most perfect - keep in mind that especially when a sting jet is involved, a slight change in track could mean totally different conditions. That is all ;) [/Meteorological hat off] [/QUOTE]
