What price an hurricane force storm there I wonder?
What governs things in the tropics is the length of time between medium mag nitude earthquakes. This one has occurred 23 hours since the last one so it is in the upper end of things. For comparison the slated Cat 4 in the Indi an ocean was 31 hours or so after the previous medium, a quake at Hokkaido Japan.
I think a 15 hour gap is only worth a TD, a named storm has to go 18 hours IIRC. You might suppose I'd know what ancillaries go with all that but natu rally, you'd be wrong.
This wasn't the tropics though so it is as I say, very interesting.
