You realize that that could be effected by the Eye, which is calmer. The Eye is moving through the ocean, the left side of Matthew is inland, and that’s where the wind speeds would be.
Would be better to have land based wind speed indicators rather than water.
Well, if you actually look at the links I posted you would see that many of the NOAA weather measurement stations are inland or right along the coast. There are over 500 of them taking measurements. None of them are in the current “Eye”.
