Notice how they never tell you at what altitude hurricane wind speed are being reported from. This pisses me off to no end.
I will be listening to a weather guy saying max sustained winds (1 minute avg peak. I Europe the use 10 min average) is 130 mph. I look at wind speed measured by satellite at different altitudes, and only see the speed they are reporting at, say 10,000 feet. 10 meters above ground may be no more that 70.
Here is a good site. Go to hurricane, click on windspeed, look at different altitudes. (If all tabs don't show resize screen)
