NOT OFFICIAL - but here is what I would have as the BT for Ingrid (I didn't change any points, and ignored the wind field sizes, but otherwise in HURDAT2 format)

Some notes:
* I estimate that the peak intensity - 80 kt with a 982 mb pressure - was at 2100Z September 14 (Saturday afternoon) when the NOAA plane recorded 82 kt winds from a dropsonde and SFMR readings 75-80 kt.
* Also included are the landfall time (1130Z September 16) and a point to clearly show it weakened to a tropical storm (0900Z September 16).
* I estimate it also weakened to a tropical storm for a time on September 15, but briefly returned to hurricane intensity.
