Recon still shows concentric eyewalls but the inner eyewall is almost toast. The cycle will likely be completed by midnight or so.

You are dead on the money again my friend.

Outer Eyewall is now closed and shrinking, inner eyewall is falling apart. Pressure up slightly again as expected, winds still holding at 120-125 Kts.

Got a figure for eyewall diameter when she comes ashore?

Gold plated guarantees are best, but I'll accept wild guesses too.
