Re: Huge Hurricane Ike in Gulf, Hurricane Watches Issued

I would personally suggest the JSL loop over the RB loop for looking at the outer eyewall:

And while we are at it, you can see it on Microwave imagery too - it's almost entirely encircled the inner eyewall, with the exception of the very north:

This is one strange storm.
