100 mph wind

[Cloudy011]

Some pretty healthy trees and root systems. if not that one middle tree in that strong gust would have snapped.at the top.

[squamishfish]

maybe 100 KM per hour not 100, The Fir trees would have come down forsure.

i live on the west coast, Vancouver area, Any thing in the puget area sound from Seattle to Vancouver BC couldnt handle 100 miles per hour, the trees start coming down at 60 miles per hour and even less here.

[twopawdsproduction]

At 100mph(160kmh) you wouldn't be there making a video, believe me! That's a wind of 35-50kmh.

[owerfull]

@twopawdsproduction Idiot...this is about 100-120 km/h

[GTAIVman]

That's about 40mph with gusts to 60mph. We get nor'easters here on the east coast which bring hurricane force wind gusts. I heard the winds on the west coast can almost be just as bad.

[JerseyShore117]

THIS IS SO PHONY. TRY 50 MPH

[Neee35]

never 100mph 100mph is 160 km/h

[naththo]

It does look like regular strong wind, nothing extreme to me. All high trees are so thin and easy bend over, thats the problem.

[bobbiejoemma]

lame



[DAKODA65]

to the left to the left to the left to the left to the right to the right to the ride now turn yourself around.

[CaseRed0605]

That to me looks like 30-45 mph winds with 60 mph gusts. Not 100.

[ajgolfer1]

100 mph measured from where? the top of whistler?

[jman12348]

dont mean to be an ass or a downer but i live on the south eastern border of south dakota where nebraska and iowa meet and this area is known for its brutal storms in the summer and this is nowhere near a 100 mph storm! ive been through a storm with a 97mph wind gust and it blew out some windows, destroyed nearly every tree and powerline possible and it even knocked a train off of its tracks. it was so intense the house was shaking. i got most of the storm on video. by far a great experience!!!

[TemplarVision]

I want my 1:44 back. I'm seeing gusts at around 65mph - trees bend and yeah if the ground is soaked, sustained winds of 45 - 50 can uproot trees. I live in the Pac NW so I've been through my share of wind / rain / snow / ice storms. This was a hiccup.

[zaeem166]

Well, that really doesn't seem like 100mph! :S they are tall flexible trees so wind must be 70 at max when gusty!

[kenneykole]

@zaeem166

well some of storm are strong enough to do 70 - 100 mph.

My uncles live in Ohio and he got a major "Great" storm came with 124 mph in couple weeks ago. it made lots of mess, lots of houses lost the roof.

Also it said on Weather channel.

Two months ago, I had 84 mph wind and lost 5 trees.

[wateva4lifesuckas]

its like that at my house today

[aggrio]

I'd estimate the winds at the top of that hill to be around 70-80mph during the video. The damage at the beginning is more consistent with 80-100mph winds. This is based on wind speed and engineering data.

[joshdm2006]

Maybe some people...um below...shouldn't analyse everything

[exa121]

that could be 40, but definitely not 100...

[mackc6r]

seems more like 100 divided by 10mph

[manican6]

is this regular wind or is it becuase of a storm

[JoshuaAndMom]

Ohio does get a lot of tornadoes over time in the Spring and Autumn seasons.

Also: The worst Ohio tornado outbreak has occurred on February 1998 and killed 899 people and leaving 2,500 people homeless and without power.

Was this an EF5 Tornado?

[DavoWabo]

It was during a wind storm in the pacific northwest

[heelsfantim]

JoshuaAndMom, there was not even ANY tornadoes and VERY little severe weather reported AT ALL in Ohio in February 1998. As well, THE MOST TORNADO DEATHS IN THE ENTIRE US for an entire year is 519 in 1953. Was you in the movie Gummo by chance?

[evilwatermelon]

wow you must have better sources than I... there is no recorded tornado outbreak thats wikipedia worthy of any tornado outbreak in ohio in 1998 ... let alone a tornado outbreak killing 899 people... in fact the deadliest outbreak was the 1925 tri state tornado outbreak with 747 fatalities. get your facts right before spreading misinformation.

[zziipp123456789]

Back in 1978 we had gusts up to 100 that Big Super strom what went in to Mi.

[zziipp123456789]

& this past Winter highest gust up to 64

[zziipp123456789]

The highest wind were i im lost Winter was a gust up to 69

[IQ136]

In southeastern Wyoming where I am, the winds don't bend the short trees so much. We have mostly Ponderosa Pines and Limber Pines which don't flex much in the wind, or at least the bigger branches don't. We have many kinds of trees in Cheyenne though. Only our very tallest WY trees might approach the height of yours in BC. Our tallest trees are probably 80 feet tall or so, or around 25m or so. Most trees here in Cheyenne are under 30 feet or 9m.

[IQ136]

The trees here in Wyoming are not this tall and flexible...we have groundspeed winds of about 80 miles per hour here in this state frequently. Trucks blow over multiple times every year. We're all used to it. I think the treetops in the video have the full 100mph wind yet the groundspeed winds here appear to be much less. This is a great video you have filmed here though and I think it is really cool!!!

[babyfacebosn]

BC gets very high winds. The north coast of BC is very bad for high winds. Just a couple days ago, winds up to 150 KMH were clocked. And 2 years ago, winds up to 120 KMH were clocked on the south coast.

[charronfamilyconnect]

just as powerfull as a tornado

[Hazafan88]

WOW! Just wow!

[IQ136]

You are in British Columbia and the climate is Marine West Coast combined with a little Continental/Montane Zone. Yes you can have high winds but the winds blow most of the time here. The Pacific Northwest has a notoriously mild climate (fewer bitter-cold temperatures compared to areas farther east), which can even be very favorable to Yellowjackets, the wasps. Do you have lots of Yellowjackets up there? I saw a very thick swarm of them at the eastern side of Flathead Lake, MT, USA, in 1972.

[brnitup]

WOW you should be a weather man you know so much,but B.C is a big province and the weather is different everywhere maybe you should watch the waether chanele more.OH yah thanks for the comment.

[IQ136]

I've lived in windy Cheyenne for 37 years and this is not a 100 mile per hour wind by a longshot I am sorry to say. This appears to be (what would be here) a very mild storm wind. Otherwise great video!!! It may have actually been 100 miles per hour somewhere near there though, right? You sure have a mild climate compared to southeastern Wyoming! I wish it were mild and dry here. I know, it is wet there.

[brnitup]

well if you know its wet here then you dont know jack about what where i live and how powerfull the winds can be, but thanks for that interesting comment,

[IQ136]

Well, yes, I realized later that some parts of BC are very cold and windy and this could easily be a 100 mile per hour wind. You are absolutely correct, British Columbia is a VERY big province and has a lot of different climates in it.

The should show BC more on The Weather Channel because your cold fronts (and everything) happen before ours do. Have you ever seen the 1986 movie BULLIES with Olivia D'Abo? It was filmed in southeastern BC and the scenery is beautiful!

[brnitup]

The movie bullies was filmed in Marysville B.C

[Woozyization]

@brnitup Well I live in Oklahoma, and Have seen My fair share of Tornadoes, and High Wind. This isnt 100mph wind.

[doknocka]

WOW 100MPH IN THIS VIDEO! AWESOME.....not. Clearly u have no idea what 100mph wind is like, Try being in the middle of a category 2hurricane or a strong Ef1-2 tornado, then show us the video of your so called " 100MPH wind "

WASTE OF VIDEO!

[extremeweatherguy]

There might have been 100mph winds in the area that day, but the video clip you posted certainly does not show them. I have seen speeds that high before and the winds are much more intense than what I am seeing in the provided video clip.

[bigazzpimp407]

i have to agree. those winds are nowhere near 100 m.p.h. those winds might be 35-45 m.p.h.

[muwhfucker]

i don't think you relize how big those firs in the background are i'd say at the end of the clip the wind was blowing about 60 mph.

[bigazzpimp407]

Nope! I work for The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana. The tress in the background are large, but not 60 m.p.h. winds. The peak gust was closer to the 50 m.p.h. range.

[IQ136]

Neat!!! We routinely get 60 and 70 mile per hour and more winds in Cheyenne, WY. There are no trees to stop them at the edge of the city either.

[CyrusNixes]

where/when?
