920 mb would be equal to Katrina and Maria at landfall, tied for ninth most intense landfall in the Atlantic basin.

Good bye to a lot of stuff, but Mexico Beach down to Beacon Hill are going to be unrecognizable. 173 mph just a few thousand feet above the surface showing on super res velocity.

This is a Cat 5. Dropsonde of 918 mb. Never thought I'd see Katrina/Andrew's pressure records fall...

Panama City will get into the eyewall. This will be bad.

I'd bet my behind that the frictional tightening at landfall helps the wind catch up to the pressures. This is a solid cat 5 pressure wise.

Brett Adair is streaming on livestormchasing.com, and then you have the one Bayou posted above. The guy almost got hit with aluminum siding a few minutes ago.
I'm right there with ya man. Looks cat 5. Radar continues to show intensifying eyewall characteristics.
