Isabel and Andrew look very similar in size on these satellite pictures.

In size, no. Compare two images where you can see the storm in relation to the size of FL. Many here have pointed out that 'Drew was a small, compact storm. Issy is huge.

I agree she's huge, but when throwing out size, these two storms are very similar. Of course, in size Andrew don't compare to Isabel, as Isabel doesn't compart to Floyd.
