Irma’s estimated peak intensity of 155 kt from 1800 UTC 5 September to 1200 UTC 6 September is based on a blend of multiple SFMR surface wind estimates and flight-level winds observed by the Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunters during that time period. The highest unflagged SFMR surface wind estimate from the Air Force Reserve was 160 kt at 1633 UTC 5 September. The flight-level winds measured during that mission were around the same speed. So 160 its = 184.12 MPH. So "not to nitpick" anything over 150 MPH anywhere on the planet is not a good thing. So lets just leave it at that and know there were and still are a lot of people effected by this storm! 
Cruising the local waters here in SC and GA. Love the BVIs and miss the Tradewinds!
