I just saw something similar about the windspeed there on MSNBC. Some crazy guy holed up in a 'hurricane proof' house on the island - a news guy and his crew and the house's owner. Has a hand held windspeed monitor.

Check out the data from THIS buoy:

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42013 :eek:

I'm thinking an anomaly?!!! 272 knots?!?! Of course, I guess it could have been a tornado/waterspout but the data was reported as such for ~18 hrs.
