I look forward to hearing from OP the names of people located precisely at the point of peak winds taking wind measurements with scientifically calibrated instruments to measure wind speeds. Almost certainly, there were none. Remote sensors or sensors not at the precise location cannot resolve whether the peak winds at landfall were 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 … mph. Consequently, there is a margin of error around published speed reports for peak winds at landfall for Nicole.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Much ado about nothing.
