Equals 75mph Cat1, but 994 pressure does not equal a cane.

I'd say she'll be a 'cane by the 7/8 p.m. update.

Recon findings don't support a hurricane... you can't beat that.

I do agree that she will be a hurricane later tonight... perhaps even this evening.

At least Cat 3... landfall, not sure, but my hunch is Texas(can't be more specific right now).

I agree rainstorm, it doesn't look too good right now. Perhaps it's just reorganizing. I'd say it makes hurricane status at the 11:00 pm advisory
