Given I'm about to nominate a bunch of GAN's and we have some sort of backlog going, I'll knock this one out, given how shitty the 2016 WW is. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:01, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"The presence of deeper convection and an eye on conventional satellite showcased the storm's transition into a fully tropical cyclone and intensification into a hurricane by 06:00 UTC on January 14." link to eye (cyclone).
