It's now a Cateogry 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds, central pressure is down to 892 mb. It's the strongest hurricane in the Gulf/Atlantic this season, if you can believe that. Katrina and Rita were never this strong. I believe that 892 is the 2nd strongest hurricane pressure ever in the Atlantic... it's up there anyway. Amazing how this will probably just be looked at as "Oh, another Cat 5."
