Gilbert dropped to 888 Mb, that storm was also the size of just about the entire Western Carribean at one point. That's about the only difference now.

See:

892 mb, my head is imploding thinking of that. Did you wake up from that Rollie?!

Eye has contracted from 4 miles to 2 miles wide.

EWRC may begin soon.

A two-mile wide eye?

Everyone? You may now officially crap your drawers.

(They were lucky to even get into the thing -- that's smaller than the turning-radius of many aircraft at cruising speed!)

Everyone? You may now officially crap your drawers.
Done and done.

Absolutely insane.

That's the colder cloudtops of the CDO (central dense overcast) on infrared satellite imagery.

Take a look at http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/FLOAT/IR4/20.jpg and look at how much of the CDO is black. Rollie's right too, I don't recall much of the black signature on the Katrina images...
