this picture of ivan, from astronomy picture of the day, is one of my favorite hurricane pics ever. I think it is classic.

Maybe because in Puerto Rico we had a "close encounter" with him, I remember Georges (1998) as a very impressive one. Georges is not even in your list.

PD. When you are in a 100 x 35 miles (aprox.) island you see hurricanes near you from another perspective

This is a great image of Georges:

But of course if the person who created this thread listed every extremely impressive hurricane that occurred even within the last 25 years, the list would be too long.
Other recent examples of impressive canes would be Edouard (1996), Iris (2001), Isaac (2000), Bob (1991), Elena (1985), Michelle (2001), Isidore (2002), and Lili (2002).
Please keep these pics of impressive 'canes coming. Really enjoy them.

I'm suprized Emily did not get a few votes. It happen this year. In had for a short time became a cat5 based on the 153 knot flight level wind the Nhc recon found. That the nhc said there selfs that it might of been a cat5 for a short time around 03z. More powerful then Frances or Jeanne or Keith you got on your list. Also more powerful then Charley,Karl,Donna,"Floyd"(Offically a tie).

Not strength but beauty. Emily got a cool eye but IMHO b/c of impedement of outflow on the southern side it looked pretty ugly also. Keith was pretty, just take a look:

And Floyd was beautiful too, and it had a lower central pressure than Emily.

What about 'ol Andy? He had a very unique look in that he was almost all symmetrical "donut" for most of his westward trek, and certainly as the eye passed over South Dade. There wasn't much of that spiral arm structure, if any. It had the satellite appearance of a buzzsaw.
I envision the 1935 Labor Day storm to have been fairly similar in appearance to Andrew.
