Ok this about 1960 and there was apperently a cat 5 that nearly made landfall in new orleans at that strength, But here is what boggles me the nhc prelim sais recon reported 140knt winds and a pressure of 972 millibars? I am assuming thats not at the surface but even so it calculates to 125 knts 145mph with that pressure?
