I found this:

Latest National Hurricane Center Update on Katrina for August 29, 2005: At 10 a.m. CDT the center of Hurricane Katrina moved ashore near the Louisiana-Mississippi border. The center of Hurricane Katrina was located near the mouth of the Pearl River about 35 miles east-northeast of New Orleans, Louisiana and about 45 miles west-southwest of Biloxi, Mississippi. Katrina is moving toward the north near 16 mph, and maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph, with higher gusts. Katrina is now a Category Three hurricane

What am I missing here?

What you're missing is where are these reported winds located? Does it say? Are these surface winds, or are they 3 stories up? Since the report doesn't explicitely say, they must be on the surface. Only stands to reason, eh?
