The NHC better recalcualte all their instruments as well as the ones used on the hurricane hunter aircraft. I was on Grand Isle last night and I can tell you that their were sustained hurricane force winds when she came ashore.
Don't know why the NHC was hesitant to upgrade it bu t I guarantee it was at hurricane status when it made landfall.
OK...back to Dennis.....
