Yes, they are. Winds are currently pretty low all over the Big Island right now according to the NWS, but at the upper levels the winds are strong - the summit of MK is currently seeing 75 mph gusts. Given the summit has experienced 180 mph winds in the recent past, these are pretty mild winds in comparison.
