Isabel because of the huge eye and the stars inside it. I remember how smoothly she was moving across the atlantic.

i know Katrina isn't in this poll but she had the same features Isabel had donout convection,huge eye,also if you look real close on the satallite imagery she also had a pentagram much like isabel had.She preety much looked like a frighting buzzsaw.Wilma looked great also the most striking feature about her was the size of the eye also i can't go without mentioning the #2 in her eye.Rita had a great statdium effect she looked like ropes going round and round again.

If you look at some images of Mitch from 1998, you will see a star pattern in it's eye as well.

What's the point of this poll anymore? We're missing Rita, Wilma and Katrina, which have far more of a right to be on this list than Jeanne or others.

I have to say Isabel, these are just a couple pics I found of her: http://www.globalsecurity.org/eye/image ... e14756.jpg http://www.globalsecurity.org/eye/images/isabel-20.jpg http://www.globalsecurity.org/eye/image ... e14741.jpg
And of course one from one of the Hurricane Hunters WC-130 from her eye: Image
Of course none of these really do her justice, but she was PURTY!!!
