According to BOM Tropical Cyclone Hayley has now peaked as a category 4 on the Aus scale with 10 minute sustained wind speeds of 165 km/h (100 mph). JTWC 1 min est. is the same. Shear has seemingly begun to increase and should induce weakening leading up to landfall tonight local time.

If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
