Did anyone else pick this up in the discussion? It says they don't think its representational of the rest of the storm, but they aren't done with recon so it could be. Is this possible or just a fluke?

That was 900 mb. It's nowhere near that at the surface. Minimum pressure at the surface is 949 mb. Looks like a strong Category 3. It will easily be back to Cat 4(and probably stronger than 135 mph) later tonight and tomorrow.

Surface pressure is 949 mb - at 913 mb, a good distance above the surface, the winds were 127 kts, so they would be adjusted down from that...which is why they keep her at 115 kt.
