Apparently hurricanes have been seen to generate micro instances of what appears to be time travel. I have read of pieces of straw being found impaled in a solid object such as metal or wood in the aftermath of a hurricane. I lost this reference and wonder if anyone out there has heard anything about this. As I recall the tremendous speed of the vortex was thought to be relevant. Any info on this phenomena?

I think you mean tornadoes.....otherwise, those NASCAR boys would be in REAL trouble. Hurricanes rarely generate windspeeds over 150mph.

To the know it all.....are you kidding??? Air pressure of zero?? A temperature of Absolute Zero?? That would kill anything and everything it touched! Having "survived" several hurricanes (on the coast of NC), and having the eye pass over me twice, I can say for sure you're full of it.

This is NOT a time distortion. With winds over 100mph you can easily embed things through otherwise seemingly solid objects. They do tests like this all the time in hurricane equipment testing labs. You should check out some of the sites that show what happens with class 5 hurricane winds and objects that can get imbedded in each other.

At the core of a hurricane, at the absolute dead center, the air pressure is ZERO - that is right, it is an absolute vacuum at the dead center - even more of a pure vacuum than space is - space at least has some volumetric matter - a hurricane's vacuum is similar to one done in laboratory conditions - a pure vacuum. The temperature at the border between the weather pattern and the central core can also approach absolute zero. This is the real phenomenon behind hurricanes. This is also the reason why I always go "duh" when they talk about the force of hurricane winds being so "strong". If you do the math out, we should see some hurricanes with winds over 500mph and some even approaching 1000mph, but for some reason we dont.
