I've been scouring the metars all day looking at peak wind. The most I've seen so far is 108 at Punta Gorda. So where is this fictitious 185 mph wind? 6000 agl?

That was crushed. Real investigative journalism. They had to investigate for seconds to find it.

FEAR P$RN. Emotional vulnerability rules the land; and probably your house!

Winds off shore are higher than those on shore! On shore has stuff slowing winds down. Off shore, no obstacles!

Make no mistake...this was a nasty storm that has hurt a lot of people!

Well, a simple google search inquiring how hurricane wind speeds and metars winds are measured makes it very apparent you are comparing apples to bowling balls.

Simple conversion. Apples to bowling's balls is a bit more complex.

108kts is almost 125mph... Have you ever been in winds over 100mph? It's not very fun man, I bet you'd rethink you attitude once you've been there and experienced it.

A wind tunnel. As a bonus, you don't have to worry much about wind driven debris hitting you at that speed.
