Hurricane Hurricane Beryl

Yeah the most recent recon found winds of 170 mph at the surface. Even if a gust, this supports high-end Cat 4. Probably 145-155 mph sustained
 
Yepp update statement to 150 mph just as it officially makes landfall. Tragic.
 
Carriacou took a direct hit and is sitting in the eye.

They'll wait until recon confirms to upgrade, but there's nothing about that system that hasn't improved since the last one. If that's not already a 5 waiting to be confirmed, I will be astonished. What a system for this time of year.
