You know what I think it was? We (civilians) tend to focus on MPH...like Oh boy! Now it's JUST 160 MPH..Bastardi's point is to focus on the science of the 908mb..he said the wind speed will basically "obey" the pressures and the wind speed will fluctuate- so when Bill suggested now it's only 160...Bastardi just lost it.

Also, the TPC is backing off the 175 of earlier today. I will have to find which advisory/discussion it was in, but they are saying that 175 may have been an error.

IOw she may have topped at 165, so that makes 160 even less of a weakening and more likely just a flucuation.

Bottom line, 175 or 160, is like asking would you rather be run over by a freight train or by an 18-wheeler.
