What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 40 knots was measured at an automated Citizen Weather Observing Program station hosted by the Florida Keys Mosquito Control on Lower Matecumbe Key.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms developing along lee convergence lines west of Andros Island of the Bahamas were possibly assisted by a remnant mid-altitude convectively-induced cyclonic circulation over the Florida Keys. The thunderstorms became robust late in the evening of July 10th and produced widespread gale-force wind gusts in the Upper and Middle Florida Keys coastal waters.

Began near Layton (24.8558, -80.7318).
