I didn't see this report on the Weather Channel but I can make a guess. The max winds near the eye wall might be expected to be 130 mph but away from the eye wall the winds will be less. The official track is east of us.

When it comes into Orlando the wind gusts will be
75+ mph, with 8" of rain.
How does 130 equal 75+???
