That happened with Felix when he was bombing (in fact, it spun a whole loop around before landing in the eye).
Haha I think I remember that.
And yes, looking at the extra wind data it seems that the wind profile is as follows:
700mb - 315/78kts
723mb - 325/88kts
736mb - 325/75kts
757mb - 330/98kts
788mb - 305/120kts
850mb - 295/114kts
862mb - 290/115kts
872mb - 290/121kts
889mb - 285/121kts hold on....
Actually, I'm now realizing that this drop reads 935mb/116kts!!!
EDIT: to finish the wind profile...
899mb - 280/125kts
909mb - 275/118kts
922mb - 275/121kts
935mb - 265/116kts
Somehow MBL wind of only 112kts, which makes me doubt these specific readings.
