I believe Michigan had 120-130 MPH wind gusts during the May 30/31st 1998 Derecho. I lived in mid-Michigan at the time and to this day that is the worst storm I have ever experienced. Those winds were at 4:00-5:00 am too.
Impressive 75 MPH wind gust recorded on the bridge of the ship Maitowoc while it was in the middle of lake Michigan last night. I am not sure I could handle being 30 miles offshore and dealing with those storms at night.
