A NWS-meteorologist friend of mine just sent me this radar shot from 12:26 am CDT, when we were in the eye (in Guadalupe Victoria). Pretty cool shot.
I had calculated the eye must have been ~3 or 4 mi across, since we were in the middle of the it, the lull lasted 20 mins (12:25 am to 12:45 am), and the system was moving at 10 mph. My estimate corresponds well with this image: based on it, my friend estimates 8 mi (N-S) by 4-5 mi (E-W).
This was definitely the smallest eye I've been in.
I'm so glad the storm was close enough to the border to get picked up by an American radar site!
