130 knots is the by-the-book 20% reduction of 850mb winds, which were reported at 162 kts in the NE quadrant. I'm surprised they went ahead and issued an official update to the forecast, since stronger winds may exist in the NW quadrant, which has not been sampled yet.
yeah...sorry... I was just reading the vortex message more closely...I had it in my head that they were talking about a lower altitude...
