Default isabel's eye

Amazingly large eye for such a powerful storm, something like 70 miles
wide. I imagine that's at least partially due to or connected with
the excellent outflow: all that outflow air has to pass through the
eye. If the outflow was not as good, there would not be as much air
passing through the eye and the eye would tighten up.

It's huge. Is there a correlation between the size of an eye and the
strength of a hurricane?

Usually the smaller the eye, the higher the peak winds. It's sort of
like when a skater pulls her arms in, she spins faster. Isabel is not
playing by these usual rules.

That's what I thought, Steve, but I wasn't sure. It's interesting that
there can be exceptions like this.

This is much less the exception for Pacific hurricanes/typhoons - occurs much
more often with them, and strong ones also. They also have more ocean to
travel and are more persistent. I don't have a clue why, though it does
seem to be more common the longer storm has been strong. Atlantic hurricanes
usually don't stay strong as long - they seem to eventually encounter wind
shear (as Isabel is now doing) and other things.

How interesting. Is there less wind shear on the west coast, then?
