[No Blue States]

Same here, never seen an eye so small...only a 2-4 NM.
Last time I looked yesterday it had just made a Cat 1.
My thought on hearing Cat 5 was that surely they must be saying it could get there, not that it already has.

There went the Gilbert record of 888. Enough new records already! Those on the coast have my prayers.

Charley's eye was 5 statute miles in diameter when it crossed Punta Gorda.
