I also heard on TWC that winds are now 160. Incredible strengthening period is apparently in full bloom. How strong could Katrina conceivably get? Looking at the NHC advisories on Camille last night, the estimated winds at that time were 190 (they were actually 200+ but no one could measure winds that strong). It's speculation - but Katrina is now within 5 mph of Andrew's strength - could it get significantly stronger? It would be nearly unprecidented, except for Camille.
