So the NHC is going to call it 892 mb at landfall? I'm very skeptical. I understand the 892 mb from recon is their final real data before landfall, but the satellite presentation was clearly better a couple hours ago when recon got that measurement.
Here is a fantastic loop of the radar showing this morning's eyewall merger. You can see the two bands merge, followed by the new single eyewall blow up with red. This is also the point in which the satellite blew up with intense lightning.

It is clear something favorable happened to the inner core structure in the last two hours. The CDO suddenly appears even stronger, the eye has grown in size, and there has been an explosion of intense lightning surrounding the eye.
