Any landfall pressure below 900mb is still in record territory

It's clearly a 5. We still have 131 kt at the surface in the NW Quad. Never penetrated the NE quad, where the highest winds were

The NE quad should be the strongest, so it is likely a fair bit stronger there still. I'd only lower the intensity to 150 kt for now.

NE quadrant would have strongest winds.

yeah, though they could do a quick loop and head back. sometimes the NHC does that for research reasons.

NE quadrant would have strongest winds.
The SE quadrant would have winds most aligned with the motion vector, no?

Well if it were moving due north then the east quad would be strongest. soo NNE motion would give the ESE would the strongest.

northeast would be the right, front quadrant as it is moving only slightly east of due north

Exactly, closer to SE quadrant than NE quadrant. Regardless, this is still a very powerful hurricane.

According to the Wunderground forecast winds in Barra De Navidad only expected to peak at 90mph... I took a snap shot of the forcast on my phone but couldn't upload it to show you. Doesn't 90mph seem a tad low for a Cat 5?

Exactly where ever that inner eye comes in will be devastating.

its the extreme wind gradient. Even a wobble of a couple of miles would bring winds 40 mph greater
