GlennA, I'll go back and find the article, but earlier "someone" reported a gust of 220mph was recorded...is that possible??
***I edited my post to include this ABC news quote...
"Irma was packing 185 mph winds and gusts up to 220 mph as of before 2 p.m. ET Tuesday and is expected to continue churning with deadly hurricane-force winds and a dangerous storm surge across a wide swath of the Caribbean this week before moving toward southern Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC)."
