Must be 140mph gusts.


They are not that high. Many folks are surprised by just how intense true hurricane gusts really are.

Glad for this clarification on NWS Key West status - all staff are safe

NWS‏Verified account @NWS 3m3 minutes ago

Communications are down for @NWSKeyWest. All staff are safe, building is okay, and operations are being backed up by @NWSSanAntonio

Trees can snap at much lower mph than 140 depending on type of tree and type of soil. I've seen telephone posts and trees snap in an 80 mph downburst. At least that's the wind speed the NWS reported

Met too, that's strange for him to be silent for so long.

This seems to be going right of the forecast point. I expect the NHC to do another shift eastward
