Thanks for the link. Above is a chart of the wind speed from the weather station I cited before. It's easy with a chart to get an idea of sustained wind. The peak reading is highlighted.

Long thread. Lots of Met posters there too. Several posts of the George Town weather station along the way.
Lots of discussion about wind transferrence too. Ie, winds aloft making to the surface. etc.
