Camille did not have an extremely small eye. A US Army Corp of Engineers map showed the eye to be 12 miles in diameter, centered over Waveland and going over the bay and part of Pass Christian at landfall.
True, Camille's eye was about 12mi in diameter. So was Andrew's and Hugo's, both devastating hurricanes. However, 12mi isn't really that wide of an eye. Charley was a very small storm, had a very compact eye, and that's why it was able to intensify so rapidly.
Emily has been moving more west than north. .4N/2.0W from 8am to 2pm.
