I found this interesting report from the bowels of the NHC site:

I put the image on my site to make it easier to access- otherwise it is not changed at all.
Frederic had a 943 pressure at landfall with 126 knot winds reported at Dauphin Island- yikes! The surge was high in Gulf Shores- about 12 feet. I think Ivan was about 10 feet based on data from me being there for Ivan.
Indeed, Frederic was a monster hurricane that likely still holds the benchmark for folks in Alabama and Mississippi in the post-Camille era.
Just something to think about...
No question about it- Frederic was stronger than Ivan
