Josh Morgerman is in Cabo.  He recorded a 984 mb pressure inside the eye, so it was similar in strength to Hermine.  Both systems just ran out of time to strengthen further.

Hey, how's it going? NEWTON was actually a much stronger hurricane than HERMINE. For one thing, the official landfall intensity of NEWTON was 80 kt, whereas it was 70 kt for HERMINE.  And on the ground, there was no comparison. HERMINE felt very mild. I actually drove through its E eyewall into the eye and was pretty underwhelmed by it. NEWTON had some kick to it-- those winds really cranked when we got in the core. So while the central pressures may have been comparable, that's not the whole story. NEWTON was way more of a hurricane.

Yeah, both had relatively large wind radii, but Newton was more tropical, with wind maxima more focused around the center, hence the stronger winds with it.
