The H2S release started at ~7:25p on Aug 7, 2014. Wind data from 7p-8p shows a decrease in speed during this time - winds didn't reach ~70mph until 11pm after the H2S release was contained.
-------
I was at a friends place in Leilani when it happened and although the winds were not at 70mph they were at least 35+mph. This place I was at, BTW, was not that far from Mike Hale's. None of were "gassed". Yes, we heard the noise. It was like a far off jet engine getting readied for takeoff. A quick check on google maps shows that his place to the center of PGV property is about 1.04 miles.
