Here's a recent visible of Franklin. The LLC is easily seen to the NNW of the CDO. Horizontally dissected tropical cyclone.
Shear must be approaching 25 kts or better.

Interesting report from NOAA recon plane near Gert.
As poor as her satellite signature is, they are finding 51 kt winds. That's 59 mph at flight level.
