Don't know...but the north central Gulf often produces storms that rapidly strengthen, particularly in August and early September. This thing is following Camille to a "T" in that regard, except it's already stronger as measured by pressure. Also Camille for all it's ferociousness was a relatively compact storm, meaning New Orleans got marginally hurricane force winds even though we were only about 60 miles or so west of the eye center. Hurricane force winds with Katrina extend to about twice that....it's a beast, possible (probably?) the strongest to hit the mainland of the US in all of recorded history by the time we're done.
