Fans in opposite drections, can the wind change that dramatically or is there another explanation?

    This one seems to have fans at opposite direections, is that possible... the wind must have changed pretty quickly?

    what could have happened is one fan go's off when wind is one direction and that one dies. then new fans erupt when wind has changed and make it look that fans are going in opposite directions. Also this would explain why blotches happen as the wind could change during and eruption and why some fans are acute and others obtuse.

    so yes the wind has changed but it doesn't have to change quickly only if you want to make blotches. Remember what you see in a fan is also the stuff that is lying on the ground afterwards.

    most of what i said is pure speculation and is open to correction.

    Much obliged, just hadn't seen it in opposites before, but makes sense with the blotches!

    It could be that the fan is blowing from the corner of the big one in a 1-2 o clock direction?

    Ah yes, that makes sense too!
