Andrew's peak winds were not physically measured. All possible wind speed indicators broke BEFORE Andrew's peak winds arrived, so a lengthy period of damage analysis was done. Evidence showed that wind speeds in Andrew's core were sustained around 165 MPH, with gusts well over 200-MPH, over a football field a second!

That's true... I remember hearing that story in the months following Andrew.
