An eyewall dropsonde in the NW quadrant recorded 64 knot winds at the surface and 65 knot winds at 850mb, so the usual reduction from FL winds may not be valid in this case. That would suggest 70-75 knot intensity based on the max 75 knot winds recorded at flight-level if they want to extrapolate the dropsonde wind profile to the other observations.
