We may get showers on Wed. From the storm. And we are a long ways away.

Look at how tightly wound that eye wall is. That's the sign of a real
killer storm. They're talking about sustained winds of 200 mph 30
miles either side of the eye with gusts to 240. It will level
anything that it hits, just like a big tornado.


Your wind map has a great picture of that.

You will have to drag the map over.
It looks like the classic representation of a black hole.


Looking at your map, wondered something. Are upper level outgoing winds
even higher speed? All that air flowing in has to go somewhere.


It goes up the center of the cyclone (the suck zone) and spreads out
across the whole top of the storm.
