The storm is now low end cat 3. They look for the highest wind over the water from a plane. They are still claiming 105 kt (120mph) at 5am which is mid-cat 3.
The eye can be calm, in theory with no wind at all. The highest winds are in the eyewall surrounding the eye.

Thank you for the update.
As I always understood it hurricanes build power in the water and lose power over land. Why isn’t it building up power I wonder?
