Re: Franklin, the Little Storm that Could

Love the hand mixer analogy. I've been watching everything getting squeezed through there on the water vapor loop tonight. I was noticing an optical illusion, not sure what you'd call it, that even though Franklin is spinning the same dir as the low, counterclockwise, because the outflow feathers off and you can see the thin wisps of the clouds getting pulled into the rotation of the low, it looks sort of the opposite (clockwise).
