GFS gets down to 891mb.  Max winds show as about 135 mph.  That pressure calls for CAT 5 winds unless impeded by topography in vicinity.  Almost all the southeastern peninsula and the entire southern end are covered by the Everglades, the world's largest sawgrass swamp.  Not too inhibiting.  If anything, GFS wind field is underdone at that pressure.

lol...euro grinds it over Cuba now. Hopefully that weakens it before it climbs north.

While the Cuban mountains don't rival those on Hispaniola or Jamaica in height, any interaction there will almost certainly lower the intensity.  How frequently have we seen that?
