Holy cow. If that clears out, it looks to be at least 40 miles across.

I dont' think so. It's flattening from contact with the ridge to the northwest.

Here you go. The surface center is near the southwestern edge of the eye.

I live in Biloxi which as you all know is home to the hurricane hunters. My friend spoke to one of the "hunters" at a restaurant last night and she told him to keep Ivan away from here. He said of course that he didnt wish Ivan on anyone but he said Ivan was an amazingly beautiful storm. She thought it was odd he would call Ivan beautiful. But I think this is proof of what he is saying....

WOW...

Just thought I would pass this story on!!

You know..I remember last year seeing some pictures the hurricane hunters had taken of some storm or another... Anyone know if there are any pics from them online this year?
