Re: Update from Grand Cayman

From Steve Gregory...
The RECON so far found a max wind of 149kts, but it is likely, that 160kt max flight level winds
are occurring. Typically, 920mb is the threshold / benchmark standard, besides wind data, used
in the Atlantic basin to Categorize a storm as having CAT 5 intensity -- the highest Category.

It is confusing...SS is a wind scale, so I was with you, waiting for the upgrade, until I read this...
