The NHC has continued to puzzle me this year. It took them hours to upgrade Dorian despite recon showing a rapidly strenthening Cat 5, yet quickly upgrade Lorenzo despite a worse look on IR and the fact it only sustained it for a few hours.

Edit: Infact Lorenzo may be the most ragged Cat 5 on IR Ive seen.
