When viewed in a singular view, Harvey doesn't seem like much of a storm, huh? When in fact, it is a monster with a diameter that reaches over 1500 miles.

That 1500 miles are just the winds that relate to the central pressure of 967 millibars and falling. It has nothing to do with the fact those winds are connected to water vapor over Florida.
