This is an odd storm. I can’t recall a greater disparity between the low central pressure (*still* around 950, despite all the interaction with land) and the not-terribly-impressive wind levels. It’s a CAT 1 storm with CAT 3 pressure. Irene may turn out to have more staying power than you’d expect from the wind category alone.

Mhhhmmm, odd isn’t it. But where are you getting the pressure reading from? NOAA. Nuff said.

The eye is back over the water now and is reforming, somewhat.

Odd storm is the correct term, as far as I’m concerned.
