Tropical Storm Risk - University College London - gust footprint for Matthew in kml format. If you zoom in (using Google Earth) the footprint shows the towns and villages in western Haiti which UCL model predicts will be worst affected by wind damage (with peak gusts of 160 mph (260 kmph)).

Population exposure estimates based on tropical cyclone IRMA-17 path observed and predicted at 7 September 2017.

This dataset illustrates the tropical cyclone IRMA-17 path with low, medium and strong wind impact zones observed and predicted at 7 September 2017. The tropical cyclone path and wind speed zones were derived from Joint Research Centre data (Warning 33 issued the 07 th September 2017 at 09:00 UTC). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

TSR gust footprint for Cyclonic Storm FANI - 2019-May 3 - Credit: Tropical Storm Risk/UCL Issued about 3 hours after it made landfall ~15km to the west of Puri in Odisha state, India. The gust footprint shows the magnitude and extent of the peak winds from FANI at landfall and immediately thereafter. Our model indicates that the peak gust at landfall was 150-160 mph and that gusts of 100 mph and over extend over a swathe width of ~100 km. The wind damage from FANI will almost certainly be severe. This damage will be exacerbated by heavy rains and an expected high storm surge. Unfortunately the forecast wind swathe for FANI is in line with the heavily populated cities of Bhubaneshwar and Cuttack.
