I don't know about that specific imagery, but a nice site to look back a week perhaps for a variety of other imagery available you see in the the floater is here:
https://realearth.ssec.wisc.edu/
All > Global Imagery

But that type you mention is especially nice for stacking, but I don't know where else it is. The floaters keep re-positioning, so the only imagery kept, as far as I know, is what you see. Here is the directory it comes from:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/22E/imagery/

You would think all this imagery would be permanently saved somewhere, so that perhaps you could make a loop of the entire storm, but I don't know of that kind of thing. I wish the SSEC RealEarth imagery was available permanently, but they delete it too.

In this particular case, you can go back just a little further using the 16L floater imagery which has yet to be deleted:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/16L/imagery/
I created an image loop of around the time it came off the coast until now. Older imagery than this is not available from that folder:
