Your points make total sense. Points well taken. I will not use that number
anymore. It does beg the question though of WHAT it can really take. I don't
believe any tests are required or have been done for most aircraft so we
really can't be sure. Maybe I should start worrying about the 50 kt winds
after all...

Last time there was a major landfall of a huricane in Florida, almost all
of the schemes including putting spoiners on the wings were found to
be largely ineffective. Evacuation is the best suggestion (a little
late for that now).
