Hurricane Gustav Forms in Central Caribbean 80MPH

recon just went back through the center... looks like pressure may be down slightly at about 983.9 mb (~ 29.05 inHg) around 17.1N 71.75W at 07:36:00Z

they came in from the NE and i do see higher winds in the data... especially at flight level... winds on SFMR at the surface at 80mph and maybe above
