At the Point Reyes Lighthouse, says Dell’Osso, winds “have been clocked at 133 miles per hour. We close the [visitor] stairs at 40 miles per hour because you can barely stand in that condition.” Regardless, he says, “if there was a rescue to be done, these individuals did it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no motorized boats, or radios, or powerful searchlights like the Coast Guard has today.
