All these weather people talking that the hurricane had 150+mph.
Well it did - at 700 millibars (10,000’).
Surface winds were generally at 80 -100 mph. Or less.
EXACTLY
I’ve been trying to get people to understand this and the danger in promoting inflated numbers which could result in the populace underestimating a future storm that does have 120+ mph winds... but at ground level, like Andrew.
