Why they did East to West as the default, I don't know, but you are supposed to reset it yourself.<br /><br />In North Carolina, because of the mouuntains, the weather tends to come from the Southwest or or West Southwest.<br /><br />Pioneer: Yes a very mixed blessing. I am somewhat distantly upwind of one. But not that distant. As Niven & Pournelle noted in Lucifers Hammer, they could be the last bastion of civilization. But I am guessing that most of them would eventually become a toxic nightmare. Of course if it got bad enough, worryin about dying of cancer in 10 years would be a luxery.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-9184157673771447282012-11-23T14:18:59.915-05:002012-11-23T14:18:59.915-05:00I was so glad the power company lost the bid for m...I was so glad the power company lost the bid for more reactors near my property.

I checked the expected fallout patters for a couple of sites. The patterns indicated a fallout disbursement from east to west for those sites. That is the least likely wind pattern in the areas that I checked. In fact the most common wind patterns are about 135-160 degrees off from the map's direction of disbursement. So, are we supposed to believe that fallout travels against the prevailing winds? Ragnarnoreply@blogger.com
