This hurricane will be quite large in diameter...we could really use one of Skeetobites maps to overlay the current size in the GOM. I think many of us will unexpectedly feel the effects of this sucker.
Here is the closest we can get to rendering the current "apparent" size of this entire system. We did an overlay of the latest satellite image and drew our circle to the farthest extent of the feeder bands.
Keep in mind that the official data indicates that at 5pm est the tropical storm force winds extended 105 miles from center (much less than half this total area) and that hurricane force winds extended just 25 miles from center.
