I should note that higher surface winds have been measured by dropsonde of course.

One sonde at 9:49am EDT had 132mph at the surface (934mb) and at a much higher level, 186mph at 881mb. Also in that sonde...

Mean Boundary Level Wind (mean wind in the lowest 500 geopotential meters of the sounding):
- Wind Direction: 165 (from the SSE)
- Wind Speed: 138 knots (159 mph)

Average Wind Over Lowest Available 150 geopotential meters (gpm) of the sounding:
- Lowest 150m: 154 gpm - 4 gpm (505 geo. feet - 13 geo. feet)
- Wind Direction: 155 (from the SSE)
- Wind Speed: 131 knots (151 mph)
