I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

That forecast probably suggests a 115kt landfall. That 110kt point is still a decent way off the coast

Eye drop recorded 987mb with 21kt winds, should be good for about 985mb. That's a 4mb drop from the most recent NHC advisory.
