160 mph now. How powerful were the winds during Andrew???
No one knows. All the wind gauges were destroyed.

I know it spawned tornado's. Some NG documentary I watched said the tornadoes where F5's.
Just heard the levies were set to withstand Cat 3 storms not Cat 5.

There was recon of Andrew right up until Landfall, so land-based anemometers weren't the sole source of data.
The reanalysis of Andrew in 2002 put the winds of Andrew at Landfall at 145 kts.
