Not totally out of the realm of possibility cause the LLC looks really raged and I thought the same thing looking at the Shortwave IR. I think it's just become elongated.

No, but what I have noticed is that the circulation is being compressed a bit, and, notice the thin cirrus rapidly moving westward, just to the east of Chris...

On the visible a hole opens up at about 22.4N. When I zoom in on it , it looks like some easterly motion within it.

No, there is no new center to the north. When I analyze a high-res visible image, I notice many small outflow boundaries eminating away form the center. Such motions indicate a general lack of convergence toward the center and could be an indication that the LLC is dissipating. Could well be Tropical Wave Chris this afternoon. Here's an image with arrows indicating cloud motions:
