there could've been sustained winds that high. Who knows.

Check out the results of the Hurricanes at Landfall project (HAL). Sustained winds and even gusts are much lower than the advisories in every single hurricane they've documented. They set up the doppler right on the coast and inside the eye at landfall to get the highest winds. Remember Ivan from last year, much stronger than Wilma...the highest wind gust they recorded with Ivan was 118mph and sustained winds were much much lower.
