From Noah Bergren on Zombie Twitter:

*****

8PM EDT: I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 225 MPH. This is now the 2nd strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere can produce. Yes, there is a mathematical limit and we are nearing that.
