Central pressure 892 hPa with sustained winds of 145 kts!


879 hPa and 155 kts. Record low is 870 - Typhoon Tip.

Where are you getting this information? I haven't seen anything below
900 hPa reported (but I could have missed it).

I got it from the link posted by Keith.

Thanks Graham, I didn't look beyond the Satellite image!

Just shows you how quickly these cat 5 storms can weaken when they get
near land. I see it's now down to 40 knots inland and heading well to
the South of Darwin.
