On your earlier reply to my question you linked a live update link so whatever it was showing before isn't visible. I just want to make sure we're not throwing out exaggerated numbers just for shock value (because it's unfortunately too common on the internet).
My quote with the link to you earlier had the exact same cutout. hah. On the direct quote, I must have gotten the winds mixed up, my bad. But there was a 902mb pressure. See below.

LOCATION...23.0N 86.9W
ABOUT 280 MI...450 KM WSW OF THE DRY TORTUGAS
ABOUT 440 MI...710 KM SW OF TAMPA FLORIDA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...165 MPH...270 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...ENE OR 70 DEGREES AT 10 MPH...17 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...902 MB...26.64 INCHES

Interestingly enough, the latest recon has the storm now up to 910 mb. This scientist suggests a possible EWRC about to happen again. I do wonder if the 902/905 mb was the second peak intensity.
