Quoting RTSplayer:



That's just not right.

This is a unit conversion error. They took miles per hour and incorrectly put kph behind it.


I know they probably use 10min sustained winds, which might actually be right, I don't know, but the gusts are clearly wrong and ridiculous.

A T-7.5/7.6 hurricane typically has gusts of over 200 Miles per hour, not kilometers per hour. In kph that is supposed to be more like 320kph for gusts... [link to www.wunderground.com]
