Guess the max gust before the Hamilton Live Wind Meter decides to cark it.

My guess is 102knots.

Slammin, you gonna make it too complicated, I think this is about the max gust only. Also I don't think the weather station will cark it. Who knows?

Meanwhile can I revise my 95 knots to 94 knots max gust?

I'm banking on the over-hyping of the cyclonic winds (230km/h is insane), but the floods could be dangerous. 94 knots is also insane.

Best wishes to the patrons of the cyclone parties, getting pissed may not be the best idea.

Unreal.
