" Eye now 30 nm wide (was 28) and open on the southeast (was closed)"

Old data imo. Is this eye 30 nm?

That eye size what the NOAA hunters found in their latest trip in (eye fix at noon; satellite pic was at 11:45 am). While the eye is becoming less apparent on the satellite, it's still around across on the Lake Charles radar

The sats will show the cloud cover over the eyewall when present. It does not mean that there isn't an eye. What you see in the sat pics is from a very high elevation. Take a look at the doppler loops, and you'll see that the eye is still very much there.
