Below is the feeder system to Harvey. It is still enormous.
In my early days, back in 1999-2000, from the very first assessments, these vortexes were 'land loving.' They would fill with water vapor, but, would begin and/or anchor themselves over land WHILE THEY BUILT VELOCITY. In those days, the land was small islands. All the systems at that time were small systems. They have magnified 1000X of the size from 17 years ago. As far as I can tell, Harvey is a big brother to the earlier vortexes I first assessed. To me he is nothing new, as he is to others.
