I've been putting together a little map thing of all the Automatic Weather Stations listed in the TCR and doing some things with it. I have been color-coding the stations by whether they are 10 meter wind stations (blue) or 2 meter (red).
https://imgur.com/a/dn6Xg0KOne of the stations in Westmoreland Parish (Sav RADA) does not have coordinates listed in the TCR. After looking into it a little bit, RADA stands for Rural Agricultural Development Authority, and their Westmoreland office is in Savanna la Mar (approximate coordinates 18.23N, 78.14W). Images show a small weather station on the premises, so this is very likely the station in question. From what I can tell, this is the closest station to the core near landfall with an intact anemometer. The height of the anemometer is 2 meters, and the winds listed in the report are 1-hour averaged winds (56 kt) and maximum 3-second gusts (93 kt). Using the WMO guidelines for a 3600 to 60 second wind averaging conversion for inland areas gives a 1-minute wind of ~72 kt. Applying the wind profile power law from 2-meters to 10-meters gives a 10 meter sustained wind of ~90 kt with a gust to 117 kt. However, this is a very naive estimate. The hour-to-minute averaging conversion is listed for "roughly open terrain" and the station is off a road near several buildings. This would also affect the conversion from 2 meters to 10 meters, and without knowing the exact direction of the wind this is even more challenging.
I tried calculating some pressure gradients but that's also pretty tricky. Except for iCyclone, there's only hourly pressures and only the lowest ones. I will note that the 17z pressure from iCyclone at Crawford is about 18 mbar higher than the 17z pressure at New Hope and the 18z pressure at Crawford is about 20 mbar higher than the 18z pressure at Lewisville school, but using the distance between Crawford and those sites may undersell the gradient due to differing distances between each site and between the center of the hurricane.
