Sometimes I think I might want to try it one day. Other times I think the idea is crazy. :biggrin:

If you like to see stormchasing videos, send me a PM and I'll give you a link to a guy on youtube who makes some absolutely amazing videos.
 

1. What is a Tropical Storm Michael?

Tropical Storm Michael is a type of weather phenomenon that is characterized by strong winds and heavy rain. It is a type of tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters and can cause significant damage to coastal areas.

2. How is a Tropical Storm Michael different from a hurricane?

Tropical Storm Michael is a type of tropical cyclone that has sustained winds of 39-73 mph, while a hurricane has sustained winds of 74 mph or higher. Additionally, the size and intensity of a tropical storm is usually smaller than that of a hurricane.

3. What causes a Tropical Storm Michael to form?

A Tropical Storm Michael is formed when warm, moist air over the ocean rises and begins to rotate. This rotation is caused by the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect. As the storm continues to gather energy, it can develop into a hurricane if conditions are favorable.

4. How are images of Tropical Storm Michael captured?

Images of Tropical Storm Michael are usually captured by satellites, aircrafts, and weather radars. Satellites provide a global view of the storm, while aircrafts and weather radars provide more detailed images and measurements of the storm's structure and intensity.

5. What can we learn from studying the morning images of Tropical Storm Michael?

By studying the morning images of Tropical Storm Michael, scientists can track the storm's movement, intensity, and potential impact on coastal areas. They can also use this data to improve forecasting and warning systems, which can help communities prepare and mitigate the effects of the storm.
