Quick question on eyes

#1 Postby Hurricanehink » Tue Oct 25, 2005 8:27 pm

How wide were Katrina's and Rita's eyes? I know Wilma was an amazing 2, but not too sure about the others. I'm writing for a current event in history class, and it's due tomorrow. (The article was about Wilma and its history, comparing it to Rita and Katrina). Thanks for the help in advance.

Actually, you have to look in the Forecast Advisories. :wink:
