since it's only a guess. They really have to get weather service on the ground there to investigate and measure the damage to figure it all out.
Plus, they are using the enhanced scale this season for the first time. They'll have to get used to using it. On the old scale it could have been an F5. On the new scale there's room for higher. The standards changed because of places like Norman and Moore in 1999.
(I heard all about it from the weather guys last weekend when we had our first touchdown. They were giddy little schoolboys and schoolgirls talking about it!)
