Fact, it's Ioke, not Ioki. And you might want to put something about being thread #2 in the title, as I almost didn't notice this second one.

A historical storm, but not many people on these boards seem interested.

Just the main cloud mass, excluding the feeder bands well to the south, it would be around 400 mi wide and high. That would extend from Chicago to the near Springfield, Missouri.

You can compare it to Hawaii.

First of all, HOLY CRAP. Ok now down to business:

Ioke is just unreal. I have been looking at these images and it is starting to look more and more like Cyclone Monica. The shape of the cyclone is nearing perfect which is almost never seen. Monica was perfect, Ioke maybe too soon. The deep convection is much bigger which justifies a CAT5 hurricane (soon to be Super Typhoon). The eye was been perfect for many hours now so who knows what else will happen. The GFDL hopefully will be correct and strengthen to record territory.

It's pretty safe to say she already is.

The first visible images are coming out. Already it looks like Daniel....only more powerful. It reminds me of Cyclone Monica too which I thought I wouldn't see for years.

Wow, it's moving SSW now. It looks like heat content is about the same along the date line between 10 and 20 degrees N though:

I dunno, it doesn't look like it to me from the pic WxGuy1 posted -- there are still quite a few feeder bands to the southeast of the center.
