We were told 200MPH winds in Pte. Milou!
Had a long talk with a former local fireman,who has a friend at the nhc,who looked at the satellite data.Winds reached 450 km/h ,and some tornadoes near the eye had winds near 650 km/h (this would explain damages in some areas..the worst hit (hauts de st jean,colombier and so on )
Collectivity with president Magras Is now taking active steps to prepare the island for such events (underground networks ,new shelters,etc).Edf is also planning changes to get generators safe .
It should be noted that sea levels didn't rise (by far) as much as expected..which is scary,when you see sustained damages on the coastline
Japan is the way to go.Typhoons and earthquakes require major planning .and big/strong is never too big or strong
450 km/h is 280 mph.
650 km/h is 404 mph.
The fastest non-tornado wind gust ever previously recorded is 253 mph. https://weather.com/storms/severe/news/most-extreme-winds-earth
The fastest tornado wind speed ever previously recorded is 318 mph. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/Image/dvn/downloads/quickfacts_Tornadoes.pdf
If the above numbers are accurate then the world meteorological community should be very interested.

Much of Saline is a different problem. It's on low ground.
