The link I posted:

Was stated as specifically to learn more about what happened at St. Stanislaus, and it's an article with about a dozen pictures, and that "one" is the only picture which stated specifics about windspeeds. They do state that "Katrina lurked off shore with 8 hours of 160 mile-an-hour winds," which is an absurd exaggeration, as cited earlier people who report these things like to speak in hyperboles and I agree that they are not serving the public's best interest; but sensationalism is the order of the day, it appears, regardless of the storm being talked about. I found similar exaggerations in just about every storm report I've looked at--the purpose of this particular link was because someone had made a comment about St. Stanislaus and this article does have a lot about the damage that historic school received. It was to provide information about the school and it's damage, not a meteorological evaluation.
