Re: 1926 Storm

I could imagine them talking about it to people and exaggerating, but as for logs, that's used as data for a number of purposes, safety and historyical significance being the foremost two. I don't think they'd lie about wind speed. Discrepancies due to instrumentation may be a factor as it was a long time ago.
