  Is this a #double eye? Which is the dominant eye?

  Hi VictoriaC, this one is rather tricky. I would be guided by the two significant convective areas. The two eye-like holes are likely due

  to interactions between two #embedded-centre storms. Its marginal which is more significant. I'd go #embedded-centre with the Eastern

  convective area being the dominant one and place the center under the white cloud top there.

  Eastern has a broader area of cold tops even though its smaller total cloud area. So its where most of the deep convection is in progress.

  And I may be totally wrong ...!

  This looks like a #false-eye. Probably #embedded-center, a weaker one.

  Hi VictoriaC. Bec. of the features of unorganized temperature-areas, blobs and because a clear #eye-wall does not exist,I agree with cch001.

  In this case I would tend to an #embedded-center storm,on the basis of the round blue and white areas in the Center and in the East.
