May just be opinion here but from what i'm seeing on sat presentation she's holding her own as a utter catastrophic threat, as opposed to re-strengthening to surreal horror such as overnight last night...

But...i do see your point about the fact that her more polarward motion than expected is taking closer to deeper oceanic heat content... that "should" augment official expectations but we've yet to see much newer anticipation for a deeper system...

We may be splitting hairs though...what the difference if you got 135mph or cat-5; you're talking about the difference between utter destruction and obliteration...
