They are flying a little less than 300m so it's 70% reduction.

Since they are flying at 1,500ft, the conversion should be near 80% Therefore, 49kt*80%=39.2KT
The above is what senorpepr said about the conversion.

Later on he corrected himself though:
I'm not sure how much those distances are (Imperial measurements don't mean anything to me) but they are flying lower than yesterday so it would be less of a reduction than before.
Right... but I made an error... they are flying at 1,000ft, not 1,500ft. That may make the conversion a little different... like 83%...

What does that indicate or mean ? I'm just curious because that is something I haven't seen pointed out before...so I will get to learn something new
The higher the temp difference between eyewall and eye, the stronger the storm. 6 degrees is normally indicative of a Cat 1-2 Hurricane. Strongest I've ever seen was 21, with one the cat 5's this year.

What exactly could that mean about Gamma? Or is it just another, "it's 2005" thing?

I don't know. Since the thing doesn't seem to even have an eyewall...WTF?
