Objective T number is at 7.8 (which would imply 877mb Pressure and 164Kt winds).
They have an adjusted T# at 7.6 but according to their graph... wow. 188mph sustained?
The adjusted T# is now up to 8.0 (1633Z), and the est RMW has dropped a tad. History:

Now the T-number is up to 8.0 at 1833Z, the RMW down another bit:
8.0 / 868.6mb/170.0kt
The enhanced IR doesn't look nearly as picture-perfect as a couple hours ago.
Attached the 1610Z microwave pass...still pret-ty darn impressive ring of convection.
That comparison to Camille-Kat vs. Tracy, very interesting!
As I emailed a friend earlier today -- both facinating and frightening.
