Yes it can be, Charlie was the same way last year. Small eye and powerful.
Any significance, well the winds are tighter wrapped around the eye wall. So
you go from little bit gust. To all of a sudden house ripping winds that
will, wipe you off your feet. This happens in a matter of minutes...

Apparently Typhoon "eyes" are even tighter at their peak. I imagine the
proper statistics and measurements are out there for nmi diameter of eye.

Pinhole hurricanes and typhoons always seem to wobble around in
ribbon-like circles in weak steering currents. Reforming themselves
accordingly to water surface upwellings and coriolis force.

Guam measured highest wind speed before breaking: 300km/hr windspeed.
