The eye is now crossing the coast of Myanmar's Maungdaw and Sittwe districts. Unfortunately, videos/photos shared online show that the storm is already doing considerable damage to the area.

Re: BoB: MOCHA - Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm
JTWC on revising the peak to 150kts:
HAVING CONTINUED TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS, TC
01B (MOCHA) LIKELY REACHED PEAK INTENSITY AT OR NEAR 140000Z, AND
HAS SUBSEQUENTLY WEAKENED AS IT APPROACHES LANDFALL.
ANALYSIS OF A 132346Z SMAP PASS SHOWED A MAXIMUM 10-MIN WIND OF 152
KNOTS, OR 163 KNOTS 1-MIN AND A NEAR-COINCIDENT RCM-2
SAR PASS AT 132355Z SHOWED A LARGE AREA OF WINDS BETWEEN 145-152
KNOTS IN THE EYEWALL. FINALLY, OPEN-AIIR AND DEEP MICRONET
ESTIMATES AT 140000Z WERE IN THE 145-148 KNOT RANGE. TAKING THESE
ESTIMATES INTO ACCOUNT, THE 140000Z INTENSITY HAS BEEN REVISED TO
150 KNOTS AND MARKS THE PEAK INTENSITY OF TC 01B.

IMB should be respected, they were working around the clock for advisories and updates on Mocha like the NHC when there is a nasty storm bearing down on landfall.

Re: BoB: MOCHA - Remnants
News are starting to come out from the landfall zone.

May 16 (Reuters) - Many people, including Rohingya Muslims, were feared dead in Myanmar in the wake of a cyclone that struck at the weekend, residents, aid groups and a media outlet said on Tuesday, with support efforts hampered by infrastructure damage.
Reuters was not able to independently verify the death toll.
Myanmar's impoverished Rakhine State bore the brunt of Sunday's storm, which unleashed winds of up to 210 kph (130 mph), ripped roofs off homes, and brought a storm surge that inundated the state capital Sittwe.
Residents of the western region, where there is a large population of Rohingya Muslims, said at least 100 people had died and many more were missing and feared dead, adding that aid was yet to be received.
A resident in the area, who declined to be identified over concerns for his safety, told Reuters more than 100 Rohingya were killed, based on assessments from multiple villages he said he had visited in the aftermath.
Two other residents contacted by Reuters also said a large number of people had been killed, as did a diplomatic source briefed on the situation, who did not provide details.
News portal Myanmar Now reported hundreds were feared dead, while aid groups said there were a "significant number of deaths". Myanmar's state media said three people were killed.
The storm was one of the worst since Cyclone Nargis swept across parts of southern Myanmar killing nearly 140,000 people in 2008.
Storm damage to communications and road infrastructure and ongoing restrictions by Myanmar's military government was making it difficult to get information from and deliver aid to the affected area, non-governmental organisations said.
"It's difficult to obtain accurate or up to date information, which also makes responding to the crisis adequately even more difficult," said Manny Maung of Human Rights Watch, adding that many were missing and feared dead.
Non-governmental relief organisation Partners said on Twitter: "We are scaling up our response effort to provide critical relief supplies like rice and tarps to Rohingya communities affected by Cyclone Mocha as we are able."
