Apparently the anemometer is an ultrasonic and tops out at 89mph, which will be woefully below the actual max wind gusts. The State Park Rangers are the ones who put up the new station. That sucks the winds have to be 90+ now. I'm having a hard time trying to stand in the wind. I'm happy I came up.
