From the Storm Events narratives, unedited.

Strong winds developed on the morning of the 31st on the north side of the Alaska Range. Several mesonet stations on the north side of Isabel Pass reported gusts greater than 70 mph during the of the 31st. Texas Condo reported a peak gust of 79 mph. During the eveing hours the winds very gradually diminished as the low weakened.

A best track is the record a warning agency settles on after the storm, not what it said at the time: position, maximum sustained wind and central pressure every six hours, revised against every observation that came in later. Category is the Saffir-Simpson scale, which runs from Category 1 at 64 kt to Category 5 at 137 kt and reads wind only, so it says nothing about surge or rain. Accumulated cyclone energy adds up the square of the wind through the storm's life, so it counts strength and duration together.
