You really got'em this time, Bob!

If one is familiar with the principles of slightly non
compressible flow
then one must conclude from RB's reports of winds that a
vacuum or large low
pressure system formed over Connecticut and a large high
pressure system
formed over Long Island. This is the opposite of what
typically drives wind,
but applying the boundary conditions (wind speeds)
reported by others one
can only conclude there is a large heavy mass of air
clumped somewhere over
Long Island and people are having a tough time breathing
in Connecticut.
This is the equivalent of water flowing uphill! Certainly
the BS meter would
peg with that tall tale!

But the steamroller rolls on:

The only way such atmospheric conditions could ever exist
is if there was a
source or sink in the region. If not, then the divergence
criteria of
atmospheric must be upheld! RB's unusual claim is clearly
supported by the
presence of ground vortices in the tornado. The mixing of
tremendous amounts
of hot, bloviated air combining with cool air are exactly
the necessary
conditions for tornadic activity.

So, science has clearly proven that even though
surrounding weather reports
show little or no wind, RB did experience gale winds in
the microclime
surrounding his boat.
