So are they still thinking a right before-dawn landfall hit, as in the center of the eye hitting? I'm getting the impression from the news it's coming "any minute" so I'm a little lost. FNC also had a headline on-screen a hundred posts ago that said "150 mph winds." Gusts only?

Center of the eye should be crossing the coast in 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The eye is large enough so that the northern edge is right about the coast (the Lake Charles radar suggests that it may be occuring just east of the Texas/Louisiana border as I type). As for the winds, the midnight advisory had sustained winds down to 120 mph, which is good only for those not in Louisiana or in Texas very near the border; the surge is massive.
