      Does wind reports not show above 70 - 80 MPH? I'm trying to see wind for Irma (and even back with Harvy) and its never higer than 80MPH. Seems thats the max on Windy. So can't really see NHC reported winds?

        @hydn There is no display limit in Windy. If you are talking about forecast, it is avereged wind for some time period, typically 3 hours. If you are looking for wind gusts which can be much stronger, change the overlay in the right menu.
        Please keep in mind that forecasting of peek values is very difficult and real maximal wind value of Irma can be much higher than the forecasted one.
