Just a quick update ... Felicia just continues to strengthen, and is now at Cat 4 intensity at 120 Kts. or Sustained winds of 140 mph !!
And the structure of the hurricane has undergone MAJOR changes today, as well ...
Compare the *ABOVE* Microwave image of what is primarily inner-core convection, taken at 5AM Hawaii time, with this one ...

Next advisory from NHC will be out in about an hour ... should be interesting what their discussion will reveal.
