IWX issued a revision to that LSR - It was 117km/h or 73mph.

I was going to say, I wish mine did that good. It blew apart driving 70 into a 55mph headwind.

I had my doubts and figured I would get some response from within the forum.

Thanks for the update

There was also a report of a 99mph wind gust in Glenmore, OH which was false as well. The 99mph wind gust was actually 99Km/h or about 63mph, something must be up with the farmers in NW Ohio
