What the National Weather Service wrote

The Texas Coastal Oceanic Observing Network (TCOON) site at Brazos Santiago (along the south side of the Isla Blanca Jetty) reported a gust to 39.07 knots from a cluster of thunderstorms that moved offshore during the late evening. Duration of Gale Force gusts was approximately 8 minutes.

The wider storm

Multiple rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms erupted across the Lower Texas Gulf and Laguna Madre waters on two occasions on May 8th: First, during the mid morning through afternoon, then another smaller window during the early to mid evening nearshore, and around/just after midnight (May 9) offshore. Wind gusts in stronger cells ranged from gale (34 knots) to near storm (48 knots) force. The discrete nature of the cells likely produced areas of hail, but there were no reports as of this writing.

Began near South Padre Island (26.0670, -97.1550).
