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.

Which is not, in fact, the same station as the one I posted.
The Bahamas are a big place.
And peak winds can be present in a small area.
The station I cited had sustained in excess of 115 (post I saw had sustained at 119mph) with gusts of 140+mph.
Both can be correct.
And likely are.
So Drudge’s ‘no stations showed’ crap is just that. Crap.
