I wouldn't count on it. At 11, the eye had basically disappeared. As of almost 1 PM, it's re-forming very distinctly. And check how far north the outer bands are--off Delaware, and the storm is still several hundred miles south of the OBX. The wind is gonna blow for a loooonnnnggg time on Sunday. Even if it's only TS strength, some trees are coming down, especially when 4-6" of rain add to what's already a very saturated earth.
