The Texas Coastal Ocean Observing Network (TCOON) site at Rincon del San Jose (RSJT2) reported a measured gust of 43 knots at 1:00AM CDT. The proximity to the coastal waters from Baffin Bay to Port Mansfield out 20 nautical miles coupled with additional wind gusts over 34 knots reported at Buoy 42020 leads credence to the fact this area experienced Marine Thunderstorm Wind gusts as well.
