For me, 93L conjures up thoughts of Iris in 2001 and of Isidore in 2002, as both were very well-defined waves when entering the Eastern Caribbean, and both developed (although because it moved south of Trinidad, Isidore dissipated at first as TD10)
It is of note, though, that neither system was in August--Iris was in October and Isidore was in September, although we musn't forget Allen in 1980. Although I doubt this system will ever be a Cat V, Allen rapidly intensified while moving west at 25 mph, AND in the eastern Carib. Allen, like this system, (although Allen was already classified) had a very well-defined upper level anticyclone.
