Steve is right, folks, I forgot that the locator maps on AWS's site are not necessarily geographically accurate but are dependent on which TV station owns which stations. I was looking at a US and Ne NC map, and neither showed the Oregon Inlet station, but the one for Se VA (ch10) did. My bad! I missed the records now as they erase at midnight. I wrote AWS today to ask if we could take a look at the archived records if there are any. http://www.aws.com/wx/wx.dll?naghd CASI Member Steven Minghini wrote: > You, i believe, asked if there was a station that could have recorded > the 104 mph wind gust.
