We're actually seeing a bonefide T8.0 in the Atlantic...in November.
Gilbert peaked T8.0 on TAFB analysis and T7.9 on ADT. Eta may not get to T8.0 from either TAFB or SAB but may very well exceed that on ADT.
I think we've learned that the original DT underestimated how rapid some storms can intensify. The original technique says this can't even be above a 6.0 because of where it was 24 hours ago.
