oh boy, here we go with the definition of landfall:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml

Landfall:
The intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline. Because the strongest winds in a tropical cyclone are not located precisely at the center, it is possible for a cyclone's strongest winds to be experienced over land even if landfall does not occur. Similarly, it is possible for a tropical cyclone to make landfall and have its strongest winds remain over the water. Compare direct hit, indirect hit, and strike.

Well NHC confirming landfall will be much faster than thought.
