Hurricane Maria's eye looks somewhat wide in Bresnik's images, but when Hurricane Maria was a high-end Category 5 storm, it had what's known as a "pinhole eye" that was less than 6 miles across.

Now Hurricane Maria is categorized as a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 115 miles per hour. Its track at the moment is somewhat unclear, but its winds are currently battering the Dominican Republic after the storm moved offshore from Puerto Rico.
