Take a look at the Melbourne radar. Looks like the eye is tightening but then again I'm no expert.

On the radar loop on the link I posted above, at 11:34z the eye looked pretty ragged with little symmetry. but then by the end of the loop at 12:22z the eye seemed to tighten and look much more symmetric. Is this unusual for a cane to to seemingly intensify so quickly. Or is this not really as dramatic as it seemed to me?
