Hurricane Florence - 730 am 15 page briefing from Wilmington NC NWS

https://www.weather.gov/media/ilm/LatestBriefing.pdf - they sorta say they are not sure what will happen when the storm stalls - (it will be a giant rogue spinning top hellbent on tossing sharknados everywhere - my words - not their obviously LOL)

---------------------------

note in general - maximum winds vs maximum sustained winds vs sustained winds vs gusts - I think you will find all 4 of these terms throughout NWS info

my experience is that winds howl pretty constantly - and then every minute or so - they gust faster by 10 or 20 percent

your roof dont care if it is hit by a gust or a sustained wind - I am sure that either wind will ruin your day if it is high enough, and the trajectory and increasing structure damage causes a total roof or building collapse - or you could say - 1 little gust will do ya
