Look at that eyewall

Perfectly symmetrical ring of deep convection, the eyewall, around a perfectly circular and well-formed eye. Based on satellite appearance this is probably very close to a category 5.

I think it is a Cat 5 right now. Very impressive looking eye - thanks for posting the pic! 8-)

That is awesome looking!

I'm sure we'll see this Hurricane retired.

I agree that it is a CAT 5. Looks a lot like CAT 5 Mitch 4 years ago.
