Abstract
In this discussion, the authors will demonstrate that the large discrepancy of results in Kumar et al. (Nat Hazards 1–19, 2022) using different fitting methods is a cause of inappropriate implementation of some methods. The authors will also show the significant overestimate of the higher return period wind speeds using the basin-wide maximum sustained wind speeds compared to the results using simulations.
