    Max winds for this storm (probably around this time) were guesstimated at 125 kt - a category 4 on the SS scale

    I would not be surprised if our classifiers come in a bit higher

    Do the BoM (I assume they are the relevant regional center) tend to come in lower than NHC for storm intensity?

    I am not certain but the 125 kt value was from JTWC, and they tend to be on the high side if anything
