Been sustained 20mph with gusts to 35 here on the OBX shore.  We see this at the summits but the vast majority of inland locations don’t see this… the ocean front sustained 20kts on the dunes is fun weather.

Cant imagine what a true 40kts+ sustained feels like off the ocean.  The sustained part is important… it’s not gusts.. the air is just always moving at that speed at all times.

It’s fatiguing to stand in after a while.  
I’ve done it on mountain summits, but on the shore for Gloria, Bob and several Nor’Easters including Jan 2005 blizzard in Boston.  There’s nothing like standing on the beach with high sustained winds.
