Re: Emily Category 4, Hurricane Warnings up for Jamaica

Another example to use for the idea of a smaller eye spinning up faster could be using an ice skater. When a skater starts a spin, they will usually have their arms out, as they pull their arms in, the speed of thier spin increases. A contracting eye can do the same thing. Expansion would slow down the speeds. Contracting can lead to increasing speed. This is not an absolute; but is a good general rule. You do not need a small eye for an intense storm. A small eye does help, though.
