Does a hurricane get bigger when its eye pressure decreases?

No, a hurricane's size is typically influenced more by its environment and atmospheric conditions than by changes in its eye pressure. While changes in the eye pressure can impact the storm's intensity and structure, they do not necessarily cause the storm to physically grow in size.


When the eye passes the storm is what?

It means the half of the storm has passed. The eye of the storm is the exact center of the hurricane or hurricane-like wind. The storm gets stronger on your way into the eye, but in the eye it is very calm, and it is almost like the storm has stopped. So, if you are ever in a hurricane, and the storm stops abruptly, know that it is the eye of the storm and you need to get back to shelter!Incidentally, with hurricanes that are coming ashore, the back winds are often stronger than the leading edge, and often contain much more debris.

Is hurricane Isaac bigger than hurricane Katrina?

No. First Isaac isn't even a hurricane yet (as of August 27, 2012). It is still a tropical storm. Even though Isaac is a very large storm it is still not as large as Katrina. Based on forecasts Isaac probably won't get any stronger than a category 2 hurricane. Katrina was a category 5.
