Hermine is a solid tropical storm, but it isn't a hurricane. Buoy 42036 records the highest windspeeds I've seen at 61 m.p.h. (53 knots).

My theory is that NHC reported windspeed minus 10 m.p.h. = actual windspeed. That relationship seems to hold here. It's disappointing that it looks like the hurricane drought will fall to a pseudo-hurricane. My preference would be for the NHC to report accurate windspeeds.
