Someone explain something to me...this is a link from Drudge, a NOAA.gov web site:
Looks to ME like the gusts (not maximum sustained) hit 132.
So that would likely mean it was NOT a cat 4, at least when it hit land, right?
Global Warming must be responsible for the discrepancies.
in Rockport, winds were reaching 145. It was every bit a cat 4.

To be honest, winds here never got much over 35 and that was just momentarily.
heck, they are landing blackhack-type helicopters a few blacks from here.
