yeah, winds at 80+ MPH. Basically this storm is a giant F1 tornado.

F1 - 73-112 MPH
Moderate damage. The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed.

Yep, I hear on Channel 8 that they’ve got some 100 MPH winds. That’s like (like you say) a *continuous* F1 tornado or the lower end of a hurricane. Wow!!
