Wow shes dead.

whats vortex

[deltadog03]

hey pressures down a bit

[Thunder44]

Wow shes dead.

I wouldn't pay much attention to winds they found now. They just got into the system and they found the pressure 3mb lower. She's very much alive.

Yeah, that first vortex was based on the plane making a direct bee-line to the center... it hadn't had any time at all to fly around and sample the quadrants...

Wow shes dead.

Uh... not hardly. It's down to 1000 mb.

Wow shes dead.

Uh... not hardly. It's down to 1000 mb.

Seriously...posts like that make me regret coming here so often.
