Windy.com is pretty fun to use! But I have to ask something....
Irma is 180mph. Scroll the Windy.com map to between South America and Antartica. Is that really 330mph winds?

Still looking at Windy.com, Alaska is getting hit with 150mph winds right now. I haven't heard about that, but Irma is huge news on the back of Harvey. I guess I might be sheltered a bit. I seldom think about the weather much.
- razster 9y agoYou're looking at kt, knots, so roughly 45+mph winds. http://imgur.com/a/7sIIU http://imgur.com/a/7sIIU
- jason_slack 9y agoah, that explains a lot! Thank you for clarifying.
- devrandomguy 9y agoThe first number is the wind direction, in degrees, not velocity in a different unit. The UX could be improved with a ° symbol.
