1 PM advisory still has winds at 175, but Pressure down to 906.

906 is indicative of 190 MPH winds. A Recon Plane is in the hurricane and should be sending vortex info shortly (2 PM ET). I am really interested to see what the vortex readings are. KAT is still deepening and I would not be surprised to see 200 before the next ERC.

Inever thought I would pray for a storm to weaken to 160-170 MPH before landfall, Unbelievable.

906 now ties KAT with Mitch for the 6th lowest Pressure recording ever. Camille was 905. Gilbert was 888.

We are witnessing history my friends, and it is scary as hell and untterly heartbreaking to comprehend what is going to happen to the Gulf Coast in less then 24 hrs.

Thanks for the update--looking forward to seeing that vortex data.
