Default Very high gust at Evershot?

Last night at 03:53z the AWS recorded a gust of 68.7kts SW. I've
never
had anything as high as this befo the most was the 29kts on
29/01/08.
Should I assume this is a false reading?



.... very quiet night here, and I can't imagine you would be any
different; looking back at the synoptic chart for 04Z, doesn't seem to
indicate a local oddity.
