      Is it playing I-spy with my little eye?
Something beginning with WA?

      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
