ACC0001w9x I went with embedded because the red spot looks to be off centre.Can an eye storm lean vertically make the eye look off centre?

In short, yes. The #eye can tilt with height. Here it looks like some high clouds are filling in the NW side of the eye.

At wich point can we say,a storm has an #eye feature? In this case, I would tend to #eye,bec. of anti-clockwise rotation and poss. eye-wall.

Many times storms have eyes but they are covered by a thin layer of high clouds. In those cases we cannot see them with these images

So we do the best we can with what we have. A future version of this project may include a satellite that can detect those kinds of eyes.
