Gustav rapidly intensifying moving SW

Wow! I guess we`ll a rapidly intensifying Gustav in the next hours! Pressure drop of 6 hPa in two hours (995-989 hPa). Surface winds up to 46 kt and it´s moving SW! So it`ll pass Jamaica to the southand also maintain it´s connection to the strongest feeder band and so it may continue to intensify to the south of Jamaica!. Ok, I´m quite a bit surprised.
edit: Another wow! In a band to the east of the center 55 kt! Looks reliable!
