My brother and I have had foot races during a couple of hurricanes. I've been in head winds where you could lean forward at nearly 45 degrees. If
you weren't careful it would lift your feet off the ground and roll you like tumbleweed.
Good fun in an otherwise bad situation.
We had winds gusting at 80-90 kms here about week or so ago... hard as to hell to keep your feet planted on the ground walking at a 45 degree angle
grabbing everything within reach to keep grounded.
That's why I figure those gusts must be pushing closer to the 100km mark.... some people were actually getting lifted off of their feet for a few
seconds.
The strongest vind I've experienced here is 240 km/h (67 m/s), but thats a few years ago (back in 1991 or so ) on january 1, It was called the new
years storm and It was pretty devistating..
