155mph is *technically* a Cat 4. 156 is the min for Cat 5. Having said that, Dr. Lyons just indicated it may shift NNE before landfall, shifting the severe damage away from N.O. That's not me guessing - that's an "expert" opinion!
My opinion of Dr. Lyons isn't great - I miss John Hope - but that's what he gets paid for.
