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.
