"This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides," said Kevin Baines, atmospheric expert... From the article. Yes this looks like a hexagon, but to say it's precise is gross misuse of the word and leads me to believe Kevin is mathematically challenged. It's like saying earth is in a precise circular orbit around the sun.

I thought it was a pentagon, and only the most powerful storms like Katrina have them.

6 nearly equal sides is hard to get naturallyWell it's not unknown, e.g., honeycomb, benzene, thermal cells in a thin film - the last one being particularly apropos.

Also, if you put 7 soap bubbles on a surface, 6 surrounding a 7th, they form a near perfect hexagon. It's a VERY natural shape.
