What the National Weather Service wrote

Four adults aboard a 15 foot motorboat were thrown into the Indian River, near the Max Brewer Bridge in Titusville when their boat capsized during a strong thunderstorm. Two adults died and two were unharmed. The boaters were initially on a small island in the river attending a family gathering and attempted to flee to the mainland as the storm approached. A weather spotter north of the area estimated 45 to 50 mph in the storm and USAF observations nearby recorded 45 to 47 mph wind gusts.
