The eye is still there. Recon verified closed eye at 25 mi diameter. It’s probably covered with more clouds than before. Microwave imagery shows it too. The issue is some sort of quasi ERC and shear from the southwest because of the upper low. I think once the ERC completes, or whatever that is it’s doing, it may round out a little more. Still a monster storm, really. Katrina kinda fell apart on the south side right before landfall. It didn’t matter did it?
So did Ike, it was a cat 2. And Sandy was only a cat 1. There are a lot more dangers associated with hurricanes than just wind speed.
