Read the 11 PM Discussion.. and that will show you the truth... :D

"In fact...sfmr and flight level
wind observations at this point do not quite support the 100 kt
intensity estimate...however the aircraft has not yet finished its
survey of the Hurricane."

Say what??????? You need to look at some more resources. The eye has been undergoing a replacement cycle, which is why wind speed is actually decreasing if anything. :roll:

yeah right. NWS has been so far off; survey of damage tomorrow will tell the real story; not your "resources"

Are you implying that recon continues to send back false, incorrect wind speed measurements?

By the way, hurricanes aren't categorized by the damage caused.
