That's good about the circulation. The central pressure hasn't really been too much of a problem this year. Earl and Danielle started at 1009, Charley started at 1011, Bonnie had 1000 pressure and winds of 65 M.P.H. The circulation is good news, as the pressure can fall more easily than a center to form. Good findings.
