I'm still trying to get the hang of reading these, but Data 10 & 11 had some 30-sec 80MPH+ readings correct?

That is not translated down to reflect the surface speed, correct?

That is not translated down to reflect the surface speed, correct?

Is this correct? 31.2N? If so, she's now all the way down to the latitude of Brunswick... (it was estimated to be 31.4N as of the 8 PM advisory and 31.5N as of the 5 PM advisory). Also, knowing that the most recent NAM and NGM models (though pretty poor for TC's ) had it hitting very near the GA coast, and realizing that the 5PM advisory had it drifting WNW immediately whereas it has since drifted SW, this tells me that GA is not completely out of risk for a landfall just yet.
