Yeah, but the problem there is that some stations (like the Davis) provide data as an "instantaneous" deal; so, if the gust comes between reports, it won't show up. That's why I changed the db2APRS code to capture the 10 minute gust value.

Well, I think I found the issue:

In wx.c, at line 427, in cycle_weather, wx_speed, not wx_gust was getting
passed to compute_gust.

Here's the diff:

427c427
< computed_gust = compute_gust((float)atof(weather- >wx_gust),
---

computed_gust = compute_gust((float)atof(weather- >wx_speed),


if you look at my data going to findu, it's now reporting much more reasonable gust (32MPH so far this evening, the power's out and the storm "center" is
still several hours away).

I believe the idea is that we're computing the gust ourselves from
the wx_speed value due to averaging time mismatches between the
weather stations and the spec.  I think the wx_speed value there is
intentional.
