HURRICANE DORIAN: MORE FAKE NEWS & WEATHER REPORTS

*****CATEGORY 5*****

*****HISTORIC HURRICANE DORIAN*****

185 to 225 MPH WINDS AT THE SURFACE?

I HAVEN'T SEEN AN ACTUAL SURFACE REPORT

Is this more FAKE WEATHER NEWS?

Each time there's a HURRICANE now at CATEGORY 5 it is usually winds being reported aloft with the dropsonde and onboard computer equipment with hurricane hunter aircraft. It is not happening at the surface. Until we can see an actually anemometer at the surface that registers 185 to 225MPH winds I don't believe these are credible surface wind reports.

AccuWeather is reporting on this but how accurate is AccuWeather? I haven't seen an actual surface report and cannot find a METAR on this at all at the moment:
