Wilma
|
Occasionally you will hear someone describe an intense hurricane as like a really large tornado. Generally speaking, that really isn't accurate, but the extreme difference in wind speeds over a short distance as observed in Wilma is actually somewhat similar to what you would find in a tornado.
I guess we can safely say that Wilma really tightened up its inner wind field, as we were wondering about earlier today.
