I was saving sat photos of hurricane melissa as it churned up over the last three days....perfect eye, got some where it was side lighted at dawn and dusk. it hit 185mph, the whole top flattened out, just a
huge round cloud with a hole in the center, winds in the hills could have hit 225+, with higher gusts
