Mezovorticies?

because I don't know what else to call it, the 'star like' formation inthe eye along the eyewall... is anyone seeing a possible formation like that in the latest visible sat image?

And i know it's dark, so it's actually IR channel 2 I believe. anyway, I'm curious if that's actually happening or not, (I believe those vortices can create increased damage in the areas because of the increased wind velocity.

(they've shown tornados have the same thing occur inside them, FYI)

just wondering if people see it
