No gust maps/tables was released by the Key West office (covering Florida Keys), the Mobile office (covering the western Florida Panhandle and southwest Alabama), Birmingham office (covering central Alabama), or the San Juan office (covering Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) on their Twitter accounts or their websites (as of September 19, 2017). The Birmingham office linked to this (archive URL) public information statement and this (archive URL) post-storm impact webpage, which both include the highest recorded wind speeds in their region. The San Juan office released this (archive URL) post-storm report, which includes the highest wind speeds measured in their area of responsibility.
