Here is some recon data:

Please tell me if I am interpreting this wrong, but it looks to me that they found flight level winds up to 126 knots (30-sec average) and surface winds up to 123 knots (10 second average).

This might not be a pass through the center, either. Not sure the exact location of the plane vs the vortex, but it has to be somewhere close.
