200 mph
879 mb - 2nd lowest recorded in history.
12 mph moving north.

Estimated winds at sea level from Hurricane Hunter at 1:30 pm was
191 mph.

Scary.
Those in its path are in for a hell of a storm.

I hope everyone in its path found safe shelter. It is mind blowing that it went from a tropical storm to cat 5 in 28 to 36 hours (I have read two different estimates).

Very similar to Joachim in how incredibly fast it intensified.
Hope that's not a trend.
