[Xastir] Re: Wind Gusts

[Clay Jackson]

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).
