I had dealt with powerful windstorms in Chicago as well. One windstorm featured 70 mph gusts - that is storm force winds!!!!!!! Enough to knock down large trees and knock down power lines!
I hope yours is correct but we will see this is a pretty powerful storm though I study the weather a lot I would say winds will be in the 50 to 65 mph per hour range up to 65 mph does look possible but not most likely but the weather always changes the forecastes have been wrong lately

Actually the national weather service saids widespread 60mp plus likely that forecast could be wrong
