I don’t need a website to know which way the wind blows. 😉 ---

Any way the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me… ---

It looks like there’s some sort of vortex near Amarillo that’s sucking up everything around it. …Doesn’t really surprise me. ---

Look about, do you see a hawk or a handsaw? If so then the wind is southerly. ---

That is so cool! Thanks for the link. It’s amazing how radically different the patterns can be from day to day. For example, compare Mar. 22 (very disordered) to Mar. 13 (nearly all blowing from the south). ---
