Re: 8PM Bouy Data

The Station he is referring to is Station SPLL1 - South Timbalier Block 52, LA / CSI06
28.87N 90.48W 24nm NNW of last reported center of Cindy.

That would convert to 77mph and gusts to 91mph.
Anemometer height: 40.4 m ( 133 feet above sea level) above site elevation.(NDBC)

There is a conversion factor for height of winds above sea level. So this may or may not be considered Hurricane Force wind speeds.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
