Recon at 22:19Z had a NE eyewall wind at 161kt - 185mph and the lowest 10m average was 174kt - 200mph! And the center pressure a few minutes later was 899MB!!!!!




My application of the Dvorak technique has it T8 now (Generally 170 KTS 196 MPH 890 mb in the Atlantic). Milton appears to be punching the outermost limits of theoretical Maximum Potential Intensity.




196 is past isn't it? I thought 190-200 was IT. The barometer is going to keep plummeting though...

The possible storm surge from Milton is unthinkable really. 30 feet like Gulfport in Katrina? Higher?
