Other than wind lag factors, this is a Cat.5. Lane had almost the same look at its peak.

I'd ignore the constraints here, since this has been bombing out faster than they allow. I'd go with 145 kt right now, giving some weight to the Raw-T of 7.4 (which would support 150-155 kt).

Little doubt in my mind this is already 140-145 knots. This looks better than some category 5's I've seen. This may have been one of the fastest-intensifying storms ever.

If only it were logistically possible to fly recon into every storm.

Yeah definitely they must be broken. This is not a gradual increase in organization as we saw with Hector and Lane. This bombed out, so I'm betting those constraints are overdoing it.

The CPHC showed that it confers with the NHC in regards to systems in the CPAC. So hopefully they'll take their advice and bump it to Cat.5 soon.

This is not far off the rates we saw in Patricia and Wilma.

2 hour old pass and not the best resolution. Deadly system.

Too bad you need a permit to get to Johnston Atoll. Would make for a good chase for extreme weather chasers.

Yeah it is... Offseason re-analysis should bump this to Cat.5 around 1500Z.

Impossible to get there unless you rent a private jet.

Through a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service it's possible by boat I believe.
