Deep intense ring of convection around a massive 55 nm eye with strong mesovorticies rotating around the inside of the eyewall. The sheer size of the low-level and mid-level vortex combined with such intensity is critical. It's just a different breed of TC in the WPAC, even if the size of this one is still kind of rare to be so strong. It's hard to fathom a TC this large being in the GOM. The storm surge alone would surpass 30 feet along the NGOM coast. You could fit the entire wind field of Oscar inside the eye of this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Kong-Rey is an absolute beast. My thoughts on the size of this storm are the giant size will make it less likely to weaken significantly before landfall even with terrain impacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
