An unusual thing about Ernesto as it approaches Peurto Rico...

[2naSalit]

Ernesto is a real thing and about to nail Puerto Rico. Looking at the satellite images I noticed an odd phenomenon occurring along the outer band (SE to NE) where all along the band an explosion of circular "events" take place almost all at once. I have never seen a sequence of rings like a line of tornadoes, or the opposite, set off all at once, very unusual.

This is a still of the satellite image from the zoom map site at the link. I couldn't get a screen cap of it.

This might be a new patter for big storms?

2. That's...

One thought that crossed my mind. Maybe hit a patch of warmer water than surrounding area?

Just strange. I'm interested in hearing what others think about it.

3. This is interesting...

The first thing that came to my mind when I looked at the image was a Mendelbrot Set because of how, in that image, Ernesto seems to be spawning smaller Ernestos all around it...
