I just noticed that

Which suprises me because an eye feature shows up on the visible before anything

I can't see an eye or eye feature yet, but the way he is spinning up and organizing, I wouldn't be surprised to see one relatively soon.

Well, we all have to remember how long it took Emily to initially become a hurricane. Three days I believe. Remember watching her struggle along at the beginning?

That is not an eye.It's cloud movements that may appear it's an eye.But it is slowly gaining steam.

I wouldn't be supprised to see Franklin break the records Emily set! I mean starting with Dennis he broke alot of records that had been set many years ago then very next storm, Emily, comes along and breaks the records Dennis had just set now we have Franklin! That would be something if Franklin were to break them! lol

I have a feeling Franklin will have the name Hurricane on it by the time it dies but like I said thats the NHC's call
