Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West

I don't know whether you guys found this, but I think recon found(earlier) flight level winds of about 146 mph in NE quad(I followed it on google earth). Does the NHC have it in them to upgrade it to a Cat 4? It's satellite presentation continues to improve and the eye is now very visible. I wish the very best to those in this deadly hurricane's path

Edit: I guess not, still cat 3 at 11 am, with winds of 125mph
