I am sure many of you have seen this already, but I thought I would post it. The NWS Melbourne office added some unofficial wind observation data to the Preliminary report on Wilma.
Just thought I would share it in case some of you haven't seen it. I live very close to the NWS Melbourne office. It didn't seem like the winds gusted as high as the observations indicate to me, but here they are, as reported to the NWS Melbourne office:
