What the National Weather Service wrote

The AWOS station KPZZ - Ship Shoal 241 measured a thunderstorm wind gust of 41 mph or 36 knots.

The wider storm

A stalled frontal boundary draped across the deep south from Texas to Louisiana began to move southward as a cold front. This happened in response to an upper system moving through the Mississippi Valley on April 20th. Although instability was quite weak, there was enough buoyancy in place in combination with lift provided by the cold front to support a few severe thunderstorms over local coastal waters.

Began near Ship Shoal Oil Platform (kspr) (28.6000, -91.2000).
