Irregardless, preparations should be make for Isabel as a Cat 3 and as a strong CAT 3. Charleston, SC made those preparations assuming Hugo would be a CAT 3 and a strong CAT at that to play it safe. Remember, HUGO was at 105 mph on the morning of Sept. 21st, and by 6 pm, HUGO grew to 135 mph with a sudden burst of intensification just before landfall. (Best track and re-analysis put HUGO at 120 kts or 138 mph).
Intensity forecasts are the hardest things to gauge. I must admit, I gotta hand it to the SHIPS model which at the time seemed spurious about weakening Isabel as much as it did 5 days ago, but sure enough, Isabel is down to 105 mph.
