See my post #651. I saw Dvorak estimates of 140 knots on the latest discussion (in other words, a Cat 5), which confirmed Janet's earlier post.

I was on the phone immediately to them for the third time today, spoke to my Teutonic-skulled father and said, Cat 5, GET OUT! The error margin is just too low - they were off by 15 miles with Katrina's eventual landfall this far out, and for them that's the difference between Cat 2 and the west eyewall at high Cat 3. And if it's off 50 miles, it goes right over them.

He's packing now. They'll make a final decision tomorrow, but at least they are getting ready now.
