I'm plotting winds around Hanna and have yet to find a 35kt wind much less a 60 kt wind. this is clearly a hybrid low/subtropical system or a very sheared TC with the MLC zipping off to the north leaving behind an exposed swirl and relatively light winds at the surface. You cannot use standard FL-SFC conversions with such a system. it's NOT a 70 mph TS.
