This looks like it has a well defined mid level eye.
However I'm not too sure what to make of the low level appearance. Looks like the core is obscured by the cold convection.

Need a new microwave.

dense overcast near its estimated center. A fortuitous GMI microwave
pass at 0545 UTC depicted a well-defined mid-level eye on the 89 GHz
channel, with deep convection wrapped three-fourths around the south
and east sides of Felicia's center. Since that time, the storm's
infrared satellite structure has improved further, with a distinct
warm spot apparent near Felicia's center with colder than -70 C
cloud tops wrapping around this feature. Subjective Dvorak estimates
from TAFB and SAB were both T4.0/65 kt at 0600 UTC, but a more
recent objective ADT estimate was up to T4.4/75 kt. Given the
additional improvement seen on geostationary satellite imagery since
0600 UTC, the latest initial intensity was raised to 75 kt this
advisory, making Felicia a hurricane.
