After the hurricane passed over the islands Bonaire and Curacao on 2 September, it increased to a category 5 hurricane with wind speeds of up to 270 kilometres per hour. It was still at its most powerful when it hit the Nicaragua-Honduras border and the eye was seen near Punta Gorda, Nicaragua, at 12:00 GMT on 4 September.
