There was a gust of 112mph south of Grand Isle, too.

From data that I have access to via work, I can verify these unofficial winds from a platform offshore south of Grand Isle

Elevation: 190 feet above sea level
Time 4:00 PM to 4:05 PM CDT
5-second Wind Gust: 107 mph (4:01 PM CDT)
1-minute average wind: 96 mph (4:01 to 4:02 PM CDT)
5-minute average wind: 84 mph
5 minute minimum wind: 57 mph

Based on the map posted on the previous page, the Seacor Power was in the same general area of the Gulf at this time.
