Maatsyker Island has had sustained winds over 100km/h since 5:30pm, in other words for the last 9 hours with gusts well over 100km/h since 6am yesterday! I don't think even hurricanes last this long at a given location. The BOM obs are quite phenomenal.
Mt Wellington peak gust 152km/h. Look up the Tassie obs on the BOM website, look at the western coastal and highland stations. Amazing stuff.
