Wow, I can't remember this strong a storm in this part of the Caribbean, Jamaica better hope for some sort of weakening trend, dry air, shear, or something along those lines. 145MPH winds and 936mb pressure is unlike anything recent.
Mike... I started to ask y'all if anyone ever remembered a hurricane this intense in this part of the Caribbean. This is, traditionally, considered the Graveyard. Events have seemingly conspired to create the monster that is Dean, though.
WU recon report indicates pressure down to 935. NHC vortex message shows 937.
