Odette looks more like a Nor'Easter because of the competing centers . . .

Those centers look just idk. Its so bad I cant find anything to compare it with. Its like Odette saw this topic and was like, "let me show these fools what ugly really is!" Even Barry had a swirl to speak of. Odette is just well, Odette. New class of ugly all on its own.

Floyd in 1987, an 80 mph hurricane. Center over Key West, mid-level circulation sheared completely away with an eye-like near Cape Canaveral.

:uarrow: Lee's another that really should've been classified subtropical for a portion of the track, if not most of it.

Although that is clearly a tropical cyclone, it is a terrible looking one.

Another one of Floyd 1987 at peak intensity near the Florida Keys.

Looks more like a MCC than a tropical cyclone.

Georges in 1980, a hurricane, in the NW Atlantic. The depression over Texas (Danielle) looked far better after 36-48 hours over land.

Without reading the caption in detail I thought Georges was the one over Texas. Didn't even notice the hurricane at first.
