Weather channel coverage hurricane Irma

Guy is out in it at Naples, eye wall here has very high winds, have trouble standing in these wind gusts, watching out for flying debris, lightning, tornadoes. Don't do this at home. It's dangerous. In studio reporter. Can you get a wind reading?
Yeah, that gust was 60 mph , very strong.

Fortunately it appears the storm center has weakened quite a bit but still lots of threats, tornadoes, power lines down.
I think these in the field reporters are like an extreme reality show. Extreme if the winds were over 100. Apparently the reported hurricane winds are higher up, not on the ground where these reporters are at.
