Houston doesn't need the rain. Anywhere west of San Antonio desperately does. I live on a lake that's been empty for 8 out of the last 10 years. West Texas is in an "exceptional drought". Worse than extreme. But poor Houston keeps getting flooded.
When our kids were younger, a friend used to have a tamale making party on the morning of New Year's Eve. We'd make sweet ones with cinnamon and raisin and savory with pork. Then we'd come back at night and she would steam them all, hundreds of them, and we'd eat them.
See how tiny the eye is?
3.8 miles the last time I checked.
That's called a pinpoint eye, anything under 10 miles.
Think of a skater spinning and bringing her arms & legs in.
She speeds up.
Hurricane Wilma, 2005, 175 mph, eye diameter of two miles, holds the record for smallest eye recorded.

The camera is a very wide angle imager, which distorts the image.
The curve you are seeing is not accurately portraying the curvature of the Earth.
