10 mile eye makes me wonder

Does anyone have any recon info lately on the size of the eye on Bonnie? In my opinion, this small 10 mile dia. eye (if it still is)...would seem to play a role in how compact and fast the winds can get. I say this because Andrew was a little buzz-saw. Not large in overall size, but packed a wallop....you know....a category 4 by the hurricane center, that was later upgraded to a 5....

This small eye on Bonnie...has NEVER happened before in this particular stage of development...which lends me to wonder....

any comments? ideas?......
