Omar apparently peaked at or near cat 4 intensity overnight, but it has since rapidly deteriorated. I don't remember seeing a storm as intense as Omar weakening so rapidly while still over tropical waters. The combination of Omar's relatively small size and its movement into a very hostile environment seems to be the culprit.
None of the islands seem to have taken a direct hit from Omar, which is obviously good news.
