Re: Watching Hurricane Felix and Area off Georgia

I'll ignore the one liner rule since Stadium Effect is a valid question.
I'll also ignore the reply... just this one time. But I'm watching.

Stadium effect is a near perfectly formed Hurricane. The side of the Eyewall are nearly vertical or slope gently out. Similar to the Goodyear Blimp views of a football game.
Except Recon is not on top of the stadium... they are in the stadium.
Another view would be to look straight down at a doughnut laying on a table.
