#HurricaneEta is an absolute beast...pressure continues to drop (down to 927mb) and is expected to reach Category 5 status by landfall at daybreak in Nicaragua with 160mph sustained winds. Eta vying to be the first Cat 5 on record to make landfall as such in November. #2020 pic.twitter.com/b5Onaw6G6j
