Cam down there. That is an extremely rare event and it's unlikely for any given storm to achieve that. 2 in 3 years would be insane.
We've had 3 straight year of category 5 hurricanes, all of them except for Lorenzo made landfall at some point as a category 5
Matthew was Cat 4 in Haiti if I remember.

Still relatively loose compared to other intense Gulf storms. It likely won’t stay like this for long but the current lag in wind speeds reported by recon is understandable.
I know large systems often cause a lag between pressure and wind speeds, but why is this seemingly common in the Gulf? Is it because Gulf systems tend to already be developed and undergoing EWRC?

But there is a place called the Golden Triangle that is pretty much a dead on hit at this time. But it seems that many of the weather people are talking about Houston/Louisiana. We are not a prairie community and there are many that live here and many lives that are impacted.

I am so impressed and in awe!
For obvious reasons, the only one who's pressure I can remember is Hurricane Gilbert in '88 which bottomed out at 888 mb.

I know where Lumberton is and unfortunately it looks like you are basically right near Ground Zero. My heart goes out to you and the folks in your area. I hope you are not staying but if you are I hope you have a safe place in your house you can hunker down in if things get serious. I wish you all the best and everyone in Laura's path is in my prayers.
