NHC has just made it officially Cat 5. Call me conservative. I like that.

You wear it well.

Apparently, Dr. Masters was impressed with the barometric data, but as we've been told on this thread, the winds tend to follow the uplift/pressure drop, as they have, so now we can all agree that she's a "5".

I guess we were about an hour off on the NHC kicking this thing all the way up.

For comparison purposes, the 1:15 pm CDT update had the winds at 150 mph, while the 2:55 pm update kicked it up to 165 mph. There has not been an update on the pressure yet (was at 920 mb at 1:15).

Sticking with NHC has done as well so far this year.
