I don't know ... we may be rapidly approaching the official time to freak out.

Have to hope something causes some moderation before landfall, because the trend looks awfully grim right now.

Don't worry folks.. the wind WILL catch up with the pressure. This is how it works.. pressure drops then the winds play catch up.. very normal.
