NE Quadrant from NOAA recon that just arrived...

Flight Level Wind (30 sec. Avg.): 138 knots (159 mph) ... 6:00:30pm CDT
Peak (10 sec. Avg.) Flight Level Wind: 140 knots (161 mph) ... 6:00:30pm CDT
SFMR Peak (10s Avg.) Sfc. Wind: 133 knots (153 mph) ... 6:01:00pm CDT

Lowest extrapolated surface pressure yet too, but I'll wait for dropsonde to see what it says. Extrap pressure readings have been low, but indicates that the measured value is likely to have dropped too.
