What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 36 knots was measured at an automated WeatherLink station along Florida Bay on Point Pleasant Drive, Key Largo.

The wider storm

A strong low pressure system over the Ohio Valley and strong trailing cold front extending into the central Gulf of Mexico and associated pre-frontal trough approached the Florida Keys. Strong thunderstorms along the pre-frontal trough and moving rapidly northeast off Cuba's north coast produce widespread gale-force wind gusts throughout the Florida Keys coastal waters.

Began near Key Largo (25.0961, -80.4426).
