I think she could very well reach cat 4 status, but prob not offical because of the consevative side of the NHC that has been shown this year. 1mb is nothing for a hurricane, it might have just be recorded at a slightly different location. In my opinion the NHC or any hurricane forecaster agency for this matter should always go with the higher side to the wind forecast, it could make the difference between a CAT 3 and CAT 4 and the decison to evacuate.
