The fiercest [[wind]]s and most intense [[rain]]fall typically occur near the eye wall. VIP levels 3 or greater are typical. Eye wall and '''wall cloud''' are used synonymously, but should not be confused with the wall cloud of a [[thunderstorm]].<ref>http://www.weather.gov/glossary/index.php?letter=e</ref> |
