Interesting that they only found a max fl wind of 98 kt....did they not look hard enough? That's only around 112mph or so....would seem to be a lot less than we've seen before, as ground level winds are less, right? Weird storm continues to be weird....



Strange for sure, but just because they only found a 98KT flight wind, doesn't mean a lot. They probably just missed the strongest winds. I think it's down some, maybe 125, but not that down.
