I think because Frances was wound so tight to a cat 4before it started to unwind to a cat 2, some of the strongest winds were not necessarily near the eye but out further like in a big tropical storm.
Then again this was gust and could have been part of a downburst from an intense feederband.
Lucky for south Florida, that when Frances was trying to reintensify, she was too close to land to do so.
