You are not wrong. Andrew was the 14th (tie) most intense by barometric pressure (922 mb) and 175 mph winds. (Which I don't get, because of the 8 storms immediately above it on the intensity range, NONE had winds that high.)

SPECIAL DISCUSSION NUMBER 22
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
7 PM EDT SAT JUL 09 2005

WHAT A DIFFERENCE 2 HOURS MAKES! AIR FORCE AND NOAA HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT INDICATE THE CENTRAL PRESSURE OF DENNIS DROPPED 11
MB IN AN HOUR AND A HALF. THE MAXIMUM FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS REPORTED
N OF THE CENTER WERE 105 KT...AND THERE WERE LIKELY STRONGER WINDS
IN THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT THAT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT SAMPLE.
THIS SPECIAL ADVISORY UPGRADES DENNIS TO A 100 KT CATEGORY 3
HURRICANE BASED ON THE AIRCRAFT DATA.

THE TRACK FORECAST IS UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE. IT IS
UNCLEAR HOW LONG THE CURRENT INTENSIFICATION WILL CONTINUE...BUT
THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS REVISED TO SHOW 12 HR OF RAPID
STRENGTHENING FOLLOWED BY SLOWER STRENGTHENING UNTIL LANDFALL. THE
NEW INTENSITY FORECAST BRINGS DENNIS ASHORE AS A CATEGORY 4
HURRICANE. AFTER-LANDFALL INTENSITIES WERE ALSO INCREASED THROUGH
72 HR TO REFLECT THE INCREASED LANDFALL INTENSITY.

THE NEW PACKAGE ALSO INCLUDES SLIGHT REVISIONS TO THE WIND RADII AND
12 FT SEAS RADII.

This is so hard to believe so early in the season... I really thought things would be slow until fall but what do I know? I am praying for whomever receives Dennis and that there is a considerable break between this cane and the next. I am way up in Ohio and very stressed out for all of you down south ! :(
