RE 1960

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?
Prelimanry report

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
