The storm, which has maximum sustained winds of 130 mph with even stronger gusts...

Someone explain something to me...this is a link from Drudge, a NOAA.gov web site:

harvey_gusts

Looks to ME like the gusts (not maximum sustained) hit 132.

So that would likely mean it was NOT a cat 4, at least when it hit land, right?

Global Warming must be responsible for the discrepancies.

To be honest, winds here never got much over 35 and that was just momentarily.

heck, they are landing blackhack-type helicopters a few blacks from here.
