Re: Three Eyes At The Same Time

Because it is a hurricane and that brings up the definition.You bring up a very good question.  I do remember a VERY long time ago being taught that there were actually some physics involved in the 74mph threshold.    If 74mph is a reflection of the Safir Simpson scale of damage then why do tropical storms only form an eye when they reach that threshold.  74mph is not a random number.  There are physics behind it IF I remember right.  I've been googling, cant find it, but I know there's an answer beyond the damage scale which explains the eye.
