The lastest ATCF best track increases the winds to 60kts:
AL, 02, 2008071818, , BEST, 0, 369N, 514W, 60, 992, TS, 50, NEQ, 35, 50, 35, 35, 1014, 300, 35, 0, 0,
This was increased again to 65kt:
AL, 02, 2008071812, , BEST, 0, 355N, 530W, 55, 995, TS, 50, NEQ, 35, 50, 0, 0, 1014, 300, 45, 65, 0, L, 0, , 0, 0, BERTHA, D, 12, NEQ, 100, 210, 150, 120
AL, 02, 2008071818, , BEST, 0, 369N, 514W, 65, 989, HU, 34, NEQ, 110, 150, 110, 75, 1014, 300, 35, 0, 0, L, 0, , 0, 0, BERTHA, D,
However I am using operational data only, not the running BT. I believe HURAKAN is doing the same.
Operational ACE would be almost 26, then, as you have listed (although technically the ACE can be interpreted to be over 26, but you know that).
