maclatunji: A tropical storm is just about ending in my part of Lagos. I am almost certain it has done some damage somewhere. How is your area?

Tropical storm occur from a Tropical Depression off the western Coast of West Africa, which may then become Hurricanes where an "eye" appears.
The storm is meso-scaled (500 -<1000KM) against planetary systems (intercontinental to global scale).
The storm originated early on Friday over South Chad, intensified and moved westward, initiating storm cells over the Jos plateau.
This kind of storms are not unusual over west Africa and are termed "CISK" i.e. conditional-instability of the Second Kind. CISK Storms are also referred to as Squall lines.

Abeg no make people fear ohhh!

Storm to the north more intense and moving faster and heading towards sokoto

storm to the south greater in size but much slower.

10AM June 1st.
storm to the north still active while the one to the south appears to be decaying
strong winds are from micro-burst emanating from the cloud.
Hurricanes, Tropical storms don't occur over land in west Africa

Here is an aerial view of a Hurricane. Note the eye and size of it at least 3million square kilometers.
The only difference between a hurricane and a Tropical storm is that the eye appears and the winds are a bit stronger.

It will be ON if he does, and, as with all conflicts, only the innocent are likely to suffer.
