Re: Category 2 Hurricane Katrina Back Over the Water, Strengthening

Bingo. She did it. Eye (smaller) is now visible on sat as well, and eyewall looking almost complete.

I have seen this while watching and learning this year and should have known what was going on. She sloughed off some outer stuff around the western edge, consolidated and shrunk just a tiny bit, and now is getting there towards that symmetrical shape. It was deepening and I didn't see it. I had thought she was starting to get more disorganized; it looked that way to me up until just about 17:45Z on the sat images.

Edit - wrong. Well, I spoke too soon. Boy that moisture just cannot make it around to the N.
