Here is what the story actually says: "HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD INLAND UP TO 150 MILES NEAR THE TRACK OF THE CENTER OF LILI."

Thanks for scaring up the hits Matt...

If it hit as a 135mph storm, wind gusts in excess of 150mph would be a guarantee.

No, some of the NOAA statements show winds to reach 125 knots 24 hours from now, before landfall. IIRC, that works out to about 150mph. So Drudge is correct.
