LOL.....isn't this strange for a hurricane? Don't they usually pop up and move fast?
Well ....some of them move slow but not this slow....ideally you want them to be moving forward quicklyI heard that while Dorian was hovering over the Bahamas, it was actually cooling the water there but nto by a huge amount due to the shallowness of the sea around there.
Yep....but the extra time over land took the winds down quite a bit

Northern hemisphere they go counter clockwise....Southern hemisphere they go clockwiseOh...I think I remember now, that it has something to do with the equator. You can flush a toilet in the "North" and it will go counter and in the "South" it goes clockwise. LOL
Yep....lol....same principle

They are called typhoons in the Pacific....so, technically, no!!! LOL. Due to the trade winds/weather patterns they don’t hit the US but I have experienced a couple typhoons back in the day when I was in Asia. I think because there is no Gulf Stream to heat up the water so much, they are not so prevalent there. I’m no meteorologist so don’t quote me on that!! Just making a SWAG!!Okay....why the difference in names?
Not sure, honestly. Maybe lost in translation somewhere?!!! LOL.No idea!!!
Me either....we’re gonna have to google

That has to do with the gravitational pull, I think.
