This is all I could find:

This is Florianopolis, Brazil- just north of where the center is coming ashore....

Florianopolis is well north of the the center of circulation, it is on the northern skirts of the general circulation, and probably would only get minor winds at best. If you can find observations for Torres, that would be the best.

This is a really, really, really small storm, and I think people don't have a "feel" for the size of Brazil.

Torres is not a 24 hour reporting station; no reports at night. And it's quite possible for the (probably tiny) core of hurricane force winds it MIGHT have will totally miss all weather stations completely.

I seriously doubt you'll see any actual recorded hurricane force sustained winds from any station in Brazil.

Derecho, this is probably like Bret in 1999. It hit right between 2 big cities, but since it was small, they didn't feel anything. Am I right?
