I'm looking at the Nexrad radar out of Miami with the storm graphics and associated wind strengths turned on...

Miami Nexrad

Looking at the list of storms, I have seen the strongest winds go from 46 knots about half an hour ago ... to 61 knots just a few minutes ago. I don't know if these are gusts ... but I do think these are surface reports (please let me know if I'm wrong!)

61 knots according to Speed Conversion Online is 70.2 mph whereas 46 knots is 52.94.

That recon will be just in time...

those higher winds are with only single, isloated vectors. the wind direction of the one I just saw was almost 180 degrees from the other vectors around it. could be an anomoly, a micro burst or a forming waterspout.
