Huge Spinning Storm off California… in June!
June 4, 2011, Submitted by: Ken Tweet
Having lived in California for 14 years, I have never seen a storm like this during June.
It is unheard of. Typically the rainy season has ended long ago, by this time of year.
The size of this monster storm is nearly 1,000 miles in diameter and is nearly perfectly symmetrical! Parts of California are currently getting pummeled with bands of record breaking rainfall for this time of year, while the storm is forecast to continue spinning its way east towards the coast. Thunderstorms are forecast for Saturday night and Sunday for central California, which again is very highly unusual for this part of the country this time of year.
The weather events lately around the country, and the world, have been extraordinary and exciting to observe, except for the tragedies that have resulted from some of the severe weather.
This particular storm looks to be so wrapped up, it appears similar to a hurricane in the visible satellite imagery from today. It is not a hurricane though. It is a very well defined low-pressure system. Picture Perfect. Something we would see here in January… not June.

Is this a hurricane or tropical storm? What is the technical definition of a storm like this? Plus does the West Coast even have hurricanes?
It’s actually neither. It’s a well defined low pressure system, looks to be about 1000 mb in pressure, not terribly ‘low’, but amazingly defined. Southern California is more susceptible to glancing hurricanes that move up from off of Mexico and the Baja, but it is unusual for a hurricane to actually hit the state of California. Fortunately this one is not.
Ken, when I was in college I took many classes with one of the most brilliant teachers, professors, that there was. In this climatology class this teacher told everyone to look for the bizarre and the unusual as this was a sign that something was brewing that we should be concerned about in the future. This “thing” off the coast looks like it should be a category 3 or 4 hurricane with the tightening of the eyewall. The water temperature out there is like in the middle to high 50′s. Hurricanes can form thoough in sub preferred temperatures, but this cold? Like I have said before these are strange times.
Heaps radiation particles being swept up & dumped down in the rain.
Its Breaking up. It does look good though.
I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist but We had strange black helicopter hovering over my place in Davenport Cal area Friday. Strange light over ocean in the same area tonight. I haven’t seen a system like this for my forty years of living here. Is there any thing to the HAARP stories?
Check out the weather systems that have been showing up over Australia. Pretty freaky especially because they have a picture of something showing up on radar forming a huge spiral pattern. I’m not sure how many times its happened but more than once the center of the spiral was directly over a weather station… a few hours later a huge spinning storm pops up. Australia has also been suffering a drought and seems like a perfect place to attempt to create storms that will produce rain = HAARP
I’m in Toronto, Canada and yesterday started off around 11:00am with torrential rain and thunder that lasted about an hour. Then we had normal spring weather, a few hours later (around 4:30pm) it was a very hot summer day (shorts and a tank top would not be out of the norm), then by around 5:30pm or 6:00pm it switched to bitterly cold (like mid-November and I wish I had my winter coat with me) and stayed cold the rest of the evening/night. Today, it’s a nice warm sunny summery day. That is very unusual, even for Canada for a single day.
It started moving this morning, and now it is headed East – toward us.
Well, it’s a lovely and toasty 101 degrees here outside of Austin today in the shade! In fact, we are setting continuous records every day over 90 degrees. We have had 90+ degree weather here daily since March.
The NW of USA – this past year has been the strangest weather patterns i’ve noticed ever before in my life..
I downloaded an animated loop of that storm of the vapor spectrum
It was interesting what pattern emerged. I can’t upload so unless
you can find an archive of it I will leave it at that.
