Assessing a peak intensity is difficult. My best guess for landfall intensity is 55 kt (pressure 1000mb), based on a combination of Recon (supported 45 kt around 2200Z), the surface obs (supported at least 45-50 kt around 0200Z) and the significant improvement in radar signature since then. A case could be made for even higher, but don't want to go too far up without additional proof.
