I'm guessing about 280 miles wide if TS winds extend 140 miles outward from the center...or 90 miles if you only count the hurricane force winds.

"Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 45 miles... 75 km...
from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 140 miles...220 km. "

Like I said, I'm guessing.

No prob, but like I said, I'm guessing on how I'm calculating it. I mean, it makes sense to me, but someone else could correct me if I'm wrong.
