. In this scripture “east winds,” are mentioned first, and then later whirlwinds are mentioned. For this continent, hurricanes come out of the east, while tornadoes come from every direction. In 3 Nephi , when the whirlwind is mentioned, it is always mentioned in tandem with a tempest. Hurricanes coming from the east, through the Caribbean and into Mesoamerica, bring with them tempests in the ocean? I believe that hurricanes are more likely to create tempests in the ocean, than are tornadoes, especially the violent ones mentioned in 3 Nephi" (Jerry Ainsworth (20 Sept 2008).). |
