I bet you were. You obviously survived. Hope you didn't suffer much damage. That's nearly 140Kmh/74 knots/force 12 Hurricane winds.
That's one record you want to put up on the wall

We live in along the gulf coast so we know all too much about hurricanes. But our homes are constructed to withstand hurricane force winds. So we didn't sustain any damage. But it sure was a close call! Too close for comfort, may I add!

Highest Wind Gust - 79.9 mph at 8:58 PM on 29 December 2010
Highest Wind Speed Avg - 65.9 mph at 9:06 PM on 29 December 2010
This was during a near-miss from a tornado. We were under a tornado warning and there were all the sounds of a tornado, but it wasn't.
WOW!! I'm glad to see our weather station can handle winds at that speed!

I've been waiting to be able to test it during a hurricane, lol. The company I bought it from says it'll survive but the reported values may not be accurate after 100mph.

Ok, you prompted me to fill you in.
Yesterday 47.3 °C at 17:01 (New Record)
Today 47.3 °C at 15:28 (Equal to Yesterday)
The temp is on the way down now so no danger of exceeding yesterdays new station record. Thankfully, the forecast for tomorrow looks like being in the low 30s.

We had another sleepless night here last night:

Luckily being in the hills we haven't broken 40 yet and its cooler today so I won't be breaking that record.
