“””Winds speeds recorded show the eyewall and eye passing directly the station. Maximum sustained winds on the leading edge of the storm were 52 knots at 5.36 AM, followed by the eye with (its typically) low winds at 7am, followed by the trailing eyewall winds of 56 knots at 8am.”””
Meanwhile, Fox News is still saying the Florence windspeed is 80mph with gusts 10 100mph.
Even Fox News gets caught up creating a bigger story than what is now a Tropical Storm.
I saw the same thing last year as Irma went through
Florida. The media kept calling it a Cat 3 storm when the actual readings were in the 60mph range.
Yup. I pointed that out here last year for Irma. Even folks on here got mad at me for pointing that out.
