Hurricane Ida - were the wind reports across SELA greatly under measured?

I read through the Hurricane Ida thread last night while unable to sleep and had forgotten how many people were convinced (myself included) that the wind was way stronger than being reported. There were numerous reports of winds 30-60mph from Baton Rouge to Ascension to Livingston while residents in those areas (myself included) were all calling bullshite on it.

I have a Davis weather station installed in my back yard and those are typically regarded as some of the best on the market. I've always been a weather enthusiast so it was worth the $1,100 to me. About an hour before the worst winds hit here, my anemometer broke with a 78mph gust. I assume something hit it because one of the cups cracked pretty badly. After that, the wind only got stronger while it measured weaker winds. My 78mph gust was about an hour before the hardest gusts and if the gust that broke it was 78mph, there is no way on God's green earth that our highest gusts were not between 100mph and 110mph.

I've seen many others say something similar. Duke, rds, and others -- what are your thoughts on this? Is there any evidence to back up my estimate of 100mph+ gusts in the Ascension area? I'm far northeast Ascension, if that helps, where the western eye wall passed. When the NHC downgraded it to a 105mph hurricane, it was just to my east by about 10-15 miles so to me, those gusts aren't out of the realm of possibility at all.
