The signs of strengthening (DEEP CONVECTION; COLD CLOUD TOPS; LIGHTNING) to which I referred did in fact take place subsequent to the downgrade to Category 3. This is why the wx people were making a big deal of it -- AFTER THE DOWNGRADE. You are playing games by delaying your response until the situation changed again. There is a slight drop in pressure again now.
