dimensions

90L and 91L are currently on the maps (sunday 9/9/07).

90L is dimensionally very small.

91L is dimensionally very large.

statistically, if the wind speeds associated with both of these systems were to intensify , would 90L tend to intensify as a dimensionally small storm and would 91L tend to intensify as a dimensionally large storm?

and, to what degree is eyewall size related to the outer dimensions of a storm.

i recall several years ago, perhaps 2004, watching the miami radar as one storm was developing off the florida coast, and i could hardly believe what i was seeing regarding the eyewall size. it must have been 50 miles across. does anyone recall how big a system this was dimensionally, at that time? i don't recall how this system transformed .
