wh.n. WiId Wind. aIo,n.

Most of us are apt to look on a storm as simply a strong wind blowing straight from one place to another. It is not so at all. for a storm wind always blows in curve and a storm is not really a wind. but a whole wheel of winds with curving spokes. These curving spokes represent the various winds all blowing toward the hub This hub is called the eye of the storm. It is the spot at which the barometer Is lowest On the rim of the wheel the barometer is high. and the nearer the hub the lower is the barom- eter This wheel of winds is usually several hundred miles across.
