What the National Weather Service wrote

AWOS Station KDSF Miss Canyon measured a peak wind gust of 43 mph or 37 knots from passing thunderstorm winds.

The wider storm

During the daytime hours on March 23rd thru the early morning hours on March 24th, a deep west coast trough helped to deliver progressive yet strong southwesterly upper-level to mid-level moist flow across the northern Gulf coast. At the surface, several waves of strong to severe thunderstorms approached the area from the west, quickly advancing east causing widespread severe thunderstorms across coastal waters from the afternoon on March 23rd through the early morning hours on March 24th.

Began near Mississippi Canyon - Nakika (kikt) (28.3500, -88.2700).
