Interesting comments. I think the winds were "down" relative to the central pressure due solely to the immense size of the circulation, which caused the wind field to spread out so far from the center. The pressure gradients in the interior of the storm were therefore not as extreme, as say they were in Andrew and Charlie, both small storms and the central pressure significantly lower than pressures on the periphery of the system about 100 miles or less away.
The fringes of this storm extended hundreds of miles.
