What is being shown in the video is a well-known phenomenon with hurricanes that have a well-defined eye. At night, when temperatures cool slightly as a result of the sun setting, the hurricane weakens and the eye wall collapses on itself. As one might imagine with the wind speeds at the center, this is bound to create some turbulence.
As soon as the sun begins heating up the water again in the morning, the eye will re-form.
It could be an aberration of the satellite image as the sunlight fades, and perhaps the aperture of the camera hasn't adjusted yet. I don't have an answer other than that. You can see in the video how frames are stitched together.
I just rewatched the video to see if I could interpret what you are commenting upon. I'm still not sure, but could it be that you are noting the cloud tops as the sun sinks lower in the sky -- like a pinwheel? This is a time-lapse image, meaning that it is sped up many times faster than normal. Early in the video, you are seeing the hurricane illuminated by a more or less overhead sun. So, the clouds are fairly indistinct. As the sun sinks lower, it casts shadows from the cloud tops, making them more visible.
I assure you, if you could see that kind of resolution during the day, you would see the same movement of the clouds.

Is the pink flash normal?

Ok, but what about the Pressure Wave Ripples that go all the way outside of the Hurricane and into other clouds making those disperse???
