A hurricane this size will continually go through the eyewall rebuilding cycle. This is what can give the hurricane a "wobble" and also causes the intensity to fluctuate. It actually has had 2 eyewalls as an outer wall decayed while a new inner wall grew.

that is an AWESOME picture. I have family in the Melbourne area (actually near Vero, too....at Sebastian Inlet). I've e-mailed that picture around to them and other friends. Truly spectacular.

Prayers up!...for my family and others in the potential path.
