btw a bouy about 90-100miles north east of the center, reported 63 mph gusts..
strong tropical storm force winds extend very far out from the center, so even if it's not a direct hit, strong winds are likely.. in fact it's estimated 39 plus mph winds extend 200 miles from the center.. trust me I've been in hurricanes, even TS winds can be damaging, especially for areas not used to strong prolonged winds!
