So I think 140 at landfall is pretty close to what it will be post season study.

It looks to me on radar like the eye is actually contracting.

Hope that Walmart was built by the same company that made the blue shed.

I know they shouldn't park in one of the loading bays, those things are known to flood real easy. If it is a Super Walmart, they need to park between the Garden Center and the Auto Center if they picked everything up.

Polygonal eyewalls aren't that uncommon. You know the Isabel pictures with the weird pentagon shapes in the eye? It's similar to that.
They seem more pronounced on radar than ever though, I’m wondering if it is maintaining strength or starting to wind down?
It has to start weakening once the eye is over land. Friction is a real thing and it will drag even the strongest storms down. Given how much it was intensifying we're probably seeing the latent effects of a hurricane maxing out, but now it should be starting to erode.

any second now.

Something about looking at the eye moving inland just amazes me.
