The AWOS station KMTK measured a thunderstorm wind gust of 44 mph or 38 knots.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms developed on the afternoon of April 28th in east Texas along the dryline. As the afternoon and evening progressed, these storms merged together into a mesoscale convective system. The outflow boundary from this MCS drove it southeastward from Texas into Louisiana on the 29th of April. As the leading edge of the storms passed over the local coastal waters, many marine observation platforms measured severe wind gusts.

Began near Burlwood C-man Station (burl1) (28.5967, -89.3895).
