Is Mala A Cyclone...or What

I wake up to a min Cat 4; Mala is at 115kts.

JTWC #9 has intensity peaking at 125kts and making landfall shortly afterwards at 120kts -- not good for the folks in its path. This looks like the upper bound for certain. The microwave isn't looking quite consistent with the impressive vis sat image.
