Wilma's Wobble

#1 Postby Dave R » Wed Oct 19, 2005 12:05 pm

Has anyone ever seen an eye wobble like it has this morning (10/19)? I don't ever recall seeing that before. Perhaps it is due to the size of the eye. I don't think Charley wobbled like that last year and Charley had a very small eye.

It's not uncommon at all. Just looked really pronounced because the eye was so tiny.

would the movement of the eye not mean that wind speeds would be locally enhanced around the eye wall?

The sat loops are bizarre looking. I've seen these "looping wobbles" before but it is so pronounced with the tiny eye that Wilma has.

Really looks scary to me. She is such a large and powerful hurricane with such intense low pressure that the satellite loops make it look almost like it's out of control.

Historical day for hurricane trackers, for both pros and casuals like me.
