This is pretty cool. I never knew what we were looking at when we watched the computers tracking the hurricane.
I saw swirls moving around. Was it the wind? For the most part, yes. But it’s the stuff in the wind that we are looking at.

I never could see the wind, but I can smell it when it is broken.

Dude, there’s like three people here that are going to get that joke. Pull my finger.
DH has been into weather and astronomy ever since he was a kid. He showed me this, so ht should be Mr. Plain Jane. 🙂
I thought it ultra cool. Hope you all do also..
Now explain global warming
@ Am I right?
Can’t explain what ain’t so. Hee, hee.
I usually have a clue when my neighbors utility shed flies by my window.
“Mr. Plain Jane.”
Yea, you’re in trouble. What are you thinking?
That’s a great tool for a Landscape or Hort. consultant, it would allow them to see exactly where all that nasty salt coated plant life !
I like Ventusky.
I can look at Ventusky and have a better idea and forecast percentage than the weather person reading the forecast..

Thanks for posting, love to visit Astronomy Picture of the Day
If we encased the entire continent of Africa in 20 feet of cement we wouldn’t have hurricanes. I know, it sounds like a bucket list.

There goes Eleanor across Key West!
That was mesmerizing. Beautiful.
“Who can see the wind?
Neither you nor I …”

Seeing how Europe is constantly getting wind from west-to-east, how does anything that is supposed to be radioactive from Russia get there? I see a good amount of African dirt wafting across Europe, wouldn’t that be a more likely culprit?
Looking at Texas, I can see what I’ve experienced. Bad weather comes from the N.W. and when it’s good weather, has a low-speed prevailing wind from the gulf. So how does Russian anything land in Europe if it doesn’t show that kind of action?
The “answer” is there….just blowin’… my friend…
That’s neat!
