Okay, well that is confusing, as they have downgraded it to 150 mph winds. Seems like if it is showing the highest gusts so far, it shouldn't be being downgraded. :think:

What flight level was that at? Katrina has a 230knt gust at the 633mb flight level, also she was downgraded to a 150 Cat 4 right now.

Those winds were recorded early this morning when it was at its peak. Gusts are nowhere near that now.

Gust vs. Sustained Winds

#11 Postby NFLDART » Thu Sep 22, 2005 1:03 pm

Those types of gusts are recorded at upper flight levels and are nowhere near what surface level winds are. Also gusts are not sustained in duration. Even a thunderstorm can produce very strong Gusts.

Maybe you should ask the storm2k admins to make a kids only section on the forums for you.

:lol: As funny as it is to me that someone wants this thread renamed (Let's face it, there are a lot of bigger issues right now - No offense intended, Jax.)
I findi it HILARIOUS that Mike_Hawk has had nothing to say until now. His 1st post and he's directing Jax to the kid's section.

Relax everybody! It's gonna be okay.

I also think that the term "Holy Crap" may in fact be copyrighted by a fellow member, who will remain anonymous.
