Recon found winds that correlate to 164mph at the surface. I'm not sure why they haven't bumped it up yet.

If it keeps strengthening at its current rate it should be close to 180MPH by the time it hits land fall. Extremely scary....


People always say well how bad is that... I tell them drive down the road at around 60MPH. Then stick your head out the window.... Now imagine that is sustained or constant with gust that are even higher... Extremely scary..
