you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet

Anatomy of a Hurricane
spiral rainbands, the eye wall and the eye
[Image: (50K)]
|
The Eye:
A region 20-50 km in diameter found at the center
where skies are often clear, winds are light,
and the storm's lowest pressure
readings are obtained.
Eye Wall:
A ring of cumulonimbus clouds
that swirl around the eye. The
heaviest precipitation and strongest winds are found here.
Spiral Rainbands:
Bands of heavy convective showers
that spiral inward toward the storm's center.
