Meet Walter Wick
I grew up in rural Connecticut with three older brothers and a younger sister. We loved exploring the nearby woods. I walked the neighborhood on stilts I made from tree limbs.

A whirlpool is a vortex.
A tornado is a vortex.
A hurricane is a vortex.
A black hole is a vortex.
And that slurping sound as the water goes down your drain? That's caused by air breaking through the vortex's core.
