Pentagram Features in Ophelia

#1 Postby ChaserUK » Wed Sep 14, 2005 6:13 pm

I have noticed on radar recently there are a few pentagram type features in the eye. I know we have talked about them from Vis Sat on other storms but I am seeing it now on Ophelia.

Can someone confirm this? Just an interesting observation I think.

Local Met Skip Waters was just commenting on this. He said O looked to be re-energizing her left side.

Definitely don't want to see any Hurricane related loss of life, good luck to those in the path of Ophelia.
