Whoa, check this out, 121 KM/h winds over the Antarctic Peninsula: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/ort...

It doesn't look like the other storms, in Hawaii and Florida. I wonder if these are normal conditions for that ridge?

I think it's called a katabatic wind, see the bottom of http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~kpt/terraquest/va/science/climate/c...
109 right next to Hawaii.
