If you've ever seen someone (read: ME) make a post about low level environmental deformation, or stretching, as it pertains to tropical waves or low level vortices, Take a look at a 12-24 hour loop of the broad, 'naked' vortex SE of Lane and the Hawaiian island chain and watch how it stretches/elongates toward the end, going from circular to more elliptical when it encounters such an environment.

Re: Great example of low level deformation
It's pretty surreal to see just how powerful this once was and to see it just decouple from winds aloft, honestly quite astonishing.
