wheels 543 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 So that big spiral at the top of the Pacific must be the drain for this giant water feature. I notice another at the bottom of the Atlantic and another at the top of the Atlantic running completely around an island. (Is it Iceland or Greenland perhaps???) Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Pope 243 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Last line on the Daily Mail site say it is a "forecast" created by super computers, It is not real time, perhaps it could be run alongside Bob McDavitts forecast. Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 322 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yes I have been wasting more time. Click on "earth" there are settings for advanced time about 3 days, different protections and different heights. Here goes another hour, great way to wind down to the break.
