Highest crosswind takeoff poll

What I haven't seen on this thread (might have missed it) is a discussion of B-737 pilots' experiences during very high crosswind takeoffs. The pilots in this accident were issued wind 270 at 27 knots for a runway heading of of 350. What is the most extreme crosswind component you high-timers have encountered, and how would you describe the experience? Any surprises?
