Re: Tropical Storm Vince forms in the Far Eastern Atlantic

I don't know about Rita having three eyewalls, but it did appear to have a partial inner-eyewall to the north and a partial outer-eyewall to the south when it came ashore, the result of a poorly executed eyewall replacement cycle. The inner core of Rita was disorganized when it hit land, but very intense convection on the northern eyewall kept it from weakening very quickly.
