I wonder what the other intensity models are showing?




Uh...wow.

The landfall is expected to be sometime Monday morning, and the ships model (according to your link) is showing Category 5 winds continuing through 8pm Monday, 12 hours or so after landfall. Unreal!

Just a note: Ships is bad at predicting winds after landfall, so take that estimate with a grain of salt.
