It matters for the historical record.

I haven't seen any data to support that
You can easily infer that the storm has continued strengthening over the last three hours and has likely crossed the threshold.

Looking at the live cams from Naples, people are outside walking the beach....

I’m no scientist, forecaster, or have any education on the weather outside of where my hurricane enthusiasm has led online and on these boards. It seems to me that we see A LOT of estimations made by the NHC in all kinds of situations, so it seems crazy to me that with some of the recon data we had a few hours ago they wouldn’t upgrade based on estimations. I understand wanting things to be confirmed, but it just seems like they are the most strict on that when determining whether to upgrade to Cat 5 only.

The ragged look of the eye from earlier is quickly correcting itself. Wow...I don't think he's done strengthening.
