Ike seems to have a rather strange structure, with a very large cyclonic circulation, but only a very small inner core area, and a substantial dry area outside of the immediate inner core. If that inner core comes apart again in its present state, Ike may never fully recover. So far, IR tops are warming, but the inner core appears to still be intact.
The dry area surrounding the inner core could also be a disruptive factor if it persists and if Ike ever attempts another ERC at some point in the future.
