2:00 pm NHC Atlantic Discussion.  Shouldn't you rather use "Gusts" in leiu of "Winds".  After all, sustained tropical winds are not in the official forecast for PR.  I see people freaking out when reading this:

...LOOKING AHEAD AS EMILY IMPACTS PUERTO RICO...THE US/UK VIRGIN ISLANDS... THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC...AND HAITI...ASIDE FROM TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS...HEAVY AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED. 4 TO 6
INCHES ARE EXPECTED OVER THESE AREAS WITH MAXIMUM AMOUNTS TO 10
INCHES LOCALLY DURING THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS. LIFE-THREATENING
FLASH FLOODING AND MUDSLIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS AREAS OF
MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. SEE LATEST NHC INTERMEDIATE PUBLIC ADVISORY
UNDER AWIPS/WMO HEADERS MIATCPAT5/WTNT35 KNHC AND THE FULL
FORECAST/ADVISORY UNDER AWIPS/WMO HEADERS MIATCMAT5/WTNT25 KNHC
FOR MORE DETAILS.
