The 165 KT wind speed, on a normal day, would translate to SUSTAINED 160-170mph winds.
Within the inner lines there was likely Category 4 to Category 5 wind. Hurricane Andrew showed us that these wind speeds will rip homes from their foundations. These types of winds will level whole towns. Punta Gorda is centered on that white dot within the inner most lines. It was in the middle of the strongest part of the eyewall of the storm, if anyone saw 160mph winds, that's the spot. The outer lines indicate areas affected by the outer eyewall. They all likely saw gusts to 100mph+.
I fear there is unthinkable devestation within the most affected region. I don't know if I want to go too much further into what may have happened right now.
