Re: East Pacific Alma Over Land

This is simply almost amazing.. and not just for early and preseason activity.

Some very impressive stats about Alma's landfall, as mentioned in last night's TS Alma Discussion Number 6:

Quote:

ALMA IS THE FIRST TROPICAL STORM...IN THE AVAILABLE RECORDS...TO
MAKE LANDFALL ON THE PACIFIC COAST OF CENTRAL AMERICA.

IT ALSO MADE LANDFALL FARTHER EAST THAN ANY PREVIOUS EASTERN PACIFIC
TROPICAL CYCLONE...

AND WAS THE FIRST TO DO SO ON THE PACIFIC COAST
OF NICARAGUA



Most impressive.

As if this wasn't already impressive enough -
