This animation really shows the CDO blowing up, and forming a much better deffined structure.

That's a nice animation. To me, it looks to be going more due east than ENE.

Wow, it really became elongated and lost its "round" shape in that last frame.

That's just the outflow expanding ... I expect we'll see some significant intensification today.

I agree.

Nice flareup - but it looks to be warming a little - but I agree, almost
due east, probably 80 degrees or so.
