Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West

I am not a met, so take this as you will: those winds of 146mph were found at flight level where recon is flying, not at the surface level. That is why they did not upgrade it to a Cat 4. The NHC would never hold back on upgrading a hurricane to a Cat 4.
Hope that answers your question.
