Water Vapor Imagery, I point clearly defined outflow bands from the slight high pressure center that sits over a hurricane causing the counterrotation effect. This basically keeps the hurricane well ventilated.
Note the clearly defined eye and how it persists in the images. You'll also notice more outflow on the south side as the counterrotation remaines persistant.

No, I'm not a meteorologist by trade, but I've studied it almost as long as I could lift a book and read it. Two subjects that have kept my fascination are meteorology and astronomy.

Great images!
As I understand it, Cyclones are in the Pacific, Hurricanes in the Atlantic. This sure looks like a hurricane to me.

Wow. Neat-o.
Looks like a hurricane to me.
BTW - this AP article was already posted. Title was different so it probably didn't show up in Search. : )

Thanks for the input. Great pix. You might want to consider logging on the www.storm2k.net, a terrific site for 'cane watchers.

The rotation is the opposite of the hurricanes we get here in the Northeast. probably because it is south of the equator.
Which makes me wonder what would happen to a hurricane if it tried to cross the equator. -Tom

Same here! I've loved looking at the sky, regardless of the time of day or night. There's always something to look at!

Living on the Gulf coast of Texas all my life; this sure looks like a hurricane to me. Those folks are definitely in LA LA land. The poor folks that are going to get hit, will not know what's up. Cat 1 isn't too bad, but my experience with hurricanes as they approach the coast, water is usually warmer and the strength of the storm goes up. Hits a lot harder than expected. Geeezzzz!!! Those folks in the path aren't expecting anything.
