On an unrelated note, while we on the topic of landfalling windspeeds, I was wondering if anyone can ascertain if I have in fact experienced category five conditions in my life:

Our house at the time was around 214 street Krome AV (SW 177). A good visual indicator is that green radar spike.




Well, the eyewall passed right over you...so I would assume you had sustained winds of 150-165 mph gusting 165-180 mph
