Re: Vortex message

Based on the observed relationship so far between the surface winds and FL winds, the intensity is probably somewhere between 75-80 knots right now. 963 mb is absurdly low for a cat 1 hurricane, but this is probably approaching cat 2 as we speak.

7 mi is a very small eye diameter... I would expect it to either grow to a little more reasonable size at some point, or else collapse and attempt to reorganize.
