Dean

Using the two above shots, and the Dvorak lat/ long shot from the same site.
I'm estimating the Eye of Dean is at 10 miles diameter... this estimate was double checked using the longitude lines on the 'bd-l' sat shot.

A 10 mile Eye on a 75 mph Storm???

Recon is in for a surprise and a bumpy ride when the arrive this afternoon. Actually I think everyone might be a bit surprised... myself included.
