Folks.

We had quite the line of T-Storms come through last night (Gulf coast AL). My Weather Station measured a max gust of 99.14 mph before it blew off the fence and landed ~ 40 feet away in the yard. We wanted to know if we could trust that number

.

On the plus side: Once I retrieved the Sensor housing and mounted it back on the fence it seems to be working like a charm...

Unfortunately we missed capturing the rain/wind from the heart of the storm. It looks like we lost the signal with the leading edge.

----
Daily Max Wind Speed at 20:33:31 : 43.31 mph
Wind Direction........: NW (321 deg)
Daily Wind Gust Speed....: 99.14 mph
Wind Gust Direction...: NW (321 deg)

Looks like you had sustained winds of 43mph too. Easy tropical storm force
