Your original story was ‘no major cat 3 winds seen’.
...
Not my story. I’m just looking at the data at the weather stations. Try not to take it so personally.
A maximum 33 mph sustained wind in Bimini is ridiculous compared to what they were predicting.
If you look at the historical data in Hopetown Abacos they had peak wind gusts of 47.1mph at 10am on 6 Oct & a barometric pressure drop to 29.65”. 2.49” of rain as well
you will have to click on the Hopetown Weather Station link (upper left) and then select the history symbol to get to the graph of the last 7 days.
That is a location just to the right of the Eye as it tracked through the Bahamas where peak winds should have been observed.
