It has a tight inner core. I don’t see much getting in the way of this thing. A large envelope can occur with smaller hurricanes. Wilma is an example of this. It had a large circulation but a tiny core.
Yea, a trademark of most Cat 4/5 hurricanes is the outer banding becoming decoupled with the CDO and rotating relatively slowly while the center goes nuts.
