You can get imagery every three hours from GOES West full disk:
http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeswestfullir.html
You can get through 0Z (8pm EDT) right now. Not very good.

This makes me imagine...before the satellite era, how did people find out of incoming hurricanes?

Clearly an ERC underway there. I'd be VERY cautious about lowering the intensity for now though given the extremely limited data.

Thank you for the anxiety-busting guffaw. I was starting to freak out a bit.

Oh! I CAN ANSWER THIS!!!
When I was a little kid, I remember getting the storm's COORDINATES from the local "weatherman" once or twice a day during the newscast (which lasted THIRTY MINUTES TWICE A DAY!!!), and then you would go to a map....a grid, if you will....and PLOT the coordinates they said the storm was at. Your daily newspaper would also publish the COORDINATES on a little mini-grid, so you could see if it was approaching your city.
There was NO "radar image" to actually see it for yourself. You just plotted out the eye's coordinates and kept track of its general motion.
Well, this WAS the '50's and '60's, so it was pretty crude. But I LOVED doing it!
I think if I had it to do over, I might have gone to school and become a meteorologist myself.

In the image embedded above by TJRE, it almost looks like the blob is forming ITS OWN EYE.
