That is correct. Hurricane force winds at flight level.
I was slightly surprised at the wind speed due to the satellite presentation. However, Bertha is sandwiched between high pressure to the west and low pressure to the east. Which would seem to assist in accelerating the winds. Much in the same way that you can keep a ball spinning on the ground. One hand pulling and the other hand pushing.
