There has to be some sort of geo-location (mapping) error with the radar. It's the only logical explanation.

SSD dvorak gave it a T 4.5 at 18Z.
This rate of intensification from genesis to hurricane right before landfall is very reminiscent of Hurricane Humberto from the Atlantic.

Do we know what happened to the radar?
