Yes, on CNN here they said that the winds were marked near 200 mph (pertaining to wind GUSTS i would assume), and that was when it was a cat 4. The actual number that comes to mind was 165. Staggering.
They made a simulation map that suggested if it hits that Galveston texas may, in essence, be eraced from the map. It is also heading towards huston. This is causeing exon and several other oil refineries to shut down. GO GET GAS NOW!
[edit]
(sorry I posted this while you were posting eestnic) The dangerous part of the hurricane is that it is slowing down. Not so much wind-wise, but the storm mass is moving very slow. It creates a horrid probability of serious flooding. The water is what kills most people in hurricanes, not the wind, as stated on the Weather channel.
