• Support as nominator – TheFreeWorld (talk) 22:31, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

• Comment There's some diagonal scan lines visible. Is this inevitable? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.7% of all FPs} 06:10, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

• From what I could find the scans are about 10km wide and 1.5 seconds apart [1], so some of it is inevitable I suppose due to turbulent conditions. I checked the last 6 hurricane FPs [2] and 4 of them have similar scan lines, but more muted and not as obvious. I hadn't noticed them on this image, they are pronounced, I changed my vote to weak support. Bammesk (talk) 02:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

• I'll Weak support as well, then. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.7% of all FPs} 17:15, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

• Comment – All satellite pix of hurricanes look more or less the same to me. What's 'best' about this one? – Sca (talk) 14:12, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

• Featured contents (FA, FP, FL) are about article quality (or improvement). This image is nominated as the 'best' depiction of this hurricane in the context of improving its article (adding EV to an article and helping readers understand an article). Bammesk (talk) 04:05, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
