Not really a big deal, these vortices form all the time in major hurricanes.

Yeah, I think some are making a huge deal over it, which is not at all necessary. Its very typical.

The only thing I did was bring up the original radar imagery myself to prove it was not doctored or edited, but did really occur. But, NATURALLY occurring.

Reminds me of when that extremist right wing group claimed Katrina's CDO looked like a fetus, and that was proof God was judging New Orleans for allowing abortions.

I mean honestly. Smoke enough dope and you'll probably see anything in a hurricane.

All right, what figure/shape/number do you see in the eye of that hurricane in that loop? Nothing? Smoke enough dope and you can't see much either...

We have millions of hours of visible satellite and radar images. By random chance alone you can expect to capture an image in which the echos just happen to resemble something that humans can discern. I bet I could find a radar image in which the echos are in the shape of any letter of the alphabet if given enough time.
