The National Hurricane Center should be the first place you go for accurate, timely info on wind speeds, forecasts, warnings, and everything else storm related. The website is a go-to site, but so is the main Twitter feed, along with the Atlantic Ops Twitter feed from the National Weather Service, which is also keeping up with the hurricane.
