in the eye

i posted that article first .we have copyright laws you know

that's...uhh... kinda creepy...


Wilma also had a 2nm wide eye at one point

is there anywhere on the web i can find larger archived radar images of wilma?

I dont see the big deal. Maybe Im just cranky, but the 2 talk is getting boring LOL Its just an odd shape from what was left of the old eyewall.

Maybe I'm just cranky, but until you can fully explain the genesis of a tropical cyclone, a number 2 in the center of its eye (one of the world's most incredible phenomena) will still amaze me. ....Even if it was just some clouds that entered the eyewall which our mental perception transforms into a familiar object...still a wonder.

what makes it even more strange is that two dozen residents watching NBC2 saw the number 2

2 strange!!

It is NOT a doctored image either, I downloaded the data myself and saw the same thing. However, it isn't a "sign" or anything, just a mesovortice in the eye. Nothing to get spooked over.

I have them, but they show no 2.

The thing is it's just a coincidence. Images from many different radar stations put together and formed into a composite (used on TWC and news stations) are not accurate, they are just used for a big picture of things. I like to use individual radar stations more instead of a composite. In reality, the true rain echoes really did not form a 2. If I could explain it better then you'd get it, hopefully someone can.

I hate to disagree with you, but the "2" was easily seen on the KAMX radar data by itself, not on any composite. I am about to post a picture and will edit my post when I do.

well let's see some of this conflicting evidence!! break it out so we can examine it all!

2 Freaky!!!!

[jkt21787]

Here it is...this is taken from Level II KAMX (Miami) 88D Nexrad radar, through the GRLevel2 Radar Program...

[Regit]

Everybody knows it was a simple case of product placement! Channel 2 paid the NHC to put it there!

[tampaflwx]

Oh, i was thinking it was a little more pronounced. I can see now that it's just one of those mind tricks. Our mind "connects the dots"

kind of like this Matrix comic strip frame of Trinity running... our mind fills in her right leg...

[KatDaddy]

Conspiracy theorist will love this one.

I must say its an amazing image. I believe its left over from the inner eyewall and related to mesovortices.

You can really have fun when you throw in Wilma did have a 2 mile eye and that 2 dozen callers reported it. To top if off throw in NBC2 as Tampa stated.

All in all its a stange coincident indeed.

Yeah, the "2" is actually a little more pronounced on the TV station's image, likely due to them using a different format or color scheme than I am, that is picking up even the lowest reflectivity values around the periphery of the "2", making it look more complete. Nevertheless, the "2" mesovortice is and was visible from the KAMX radar. It is possible that it was viewed from surrounding radars as well.

I was just about to add that local stations generally pick up the lowest reflectivity, including a lot more clouds and stuff, not just severe thunderstorms and water vapor. thus, that probably solidified the mesovortice arrangement, in combination with human perception which connects the dots and associates it with a familiar symbol.

Its fragments of what was once the inner core.

OK...I see now, I thought it was the Key West radar. What a weird coincidence indeed! Well then in that case I don't have the file.
