Latest recon says that they found winds 122Knots in the NE quadrant....what does that equate to, maybe about 130 mph? Would that make it a CAT 4?

multiply by 1.15 = 140mph but I believe that recon is at altitude, not the surface (which are lower), and thus they will extrapolate what the surface winds would be.
