Joe did say that he thinks it might hold together long enough to go all the way across the Pacific and be a significant typhoon in the West. I’m sure an eastern Pacific storm has done that in the past but, I don’t remember it ever happening.

“Will Hector hector Hawaii?”

Depends on Hector’s vector.

[Vendome]

Should be a blast...

[PIF]

What? No Kaboom! Please I can’t stand it. I want a Kaboom! Now!

[bk1000]

I thought if in the Pacific it was called a typhoon.

Droll....very droll. I wish my name was Victor.

It has to cross the international date line first, then it becomes a “Typhoon”.

Now you just need some sharks, and you could have a Volsharkiccane.

It's about time!

But all of those refugees would make it capsize. Hank Johnson told me so.

“Scientists differ over how hurricanes and volcanoes might interact...”

My suspicion is that the volcano will get wet.

[UB355]

Would that not be a referred to as a typhoon in that part of the world ?

[Huskrrrr]

Que the WWF announcer.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

This is like a clash of gods.

Hector vs. Pele!

North of the equator and east of the International Date Line is a hurricane.

... In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon...

>> This is like a clash of gods.

> Hector vs. Pele!

Trust me on this: Pele will win. Even if Hector could be convinced to stick around after the first blow of the "match", Pele can outlast him, and has more reserves.

[Ken H]

Yep. It’s the Harlem Globetrotters vs the Washington Generals.

“Droll....very droll. I wish my name was Victor.”

This is the Internet...you can be ‘Victor’ if you want to.

Now you just need some sharks, and you could have a Volsharkiccane.

Thanks, I was trying think of the name of the movie this would be.

And here I was thinking: "SharkCanoCane"...

What’s the vector Victor?
