Awesome video! That's some impressive straight line winds. You may be interested to know that someone in the UK is passing your video off as their own, claiming it happened in the UK. I've been blocked from their page after pointing it out to them but if you search for "storm, snaps, tree, scotland", you'll find it :-)
yes I would say in excess of 80mph winds there. Certainly more than 60mph. One of the best thunderstorm videos I've seen. We don't get them like that on the east coast. I want to do some storm chasing in the midwest,
@Anglynn74 Sorry about that. The sound got messed up during the rendering and I never went back and fixed it. It wasn't that big of a deal to be honest, you couldn't really hear the winds from inside.
this is strong wind and i hope i never will experience weather like this but i can see the main door at the house on the other side of the road is opened!
We just had straight line winds hit our city (Battle Creek, Michigan) like 3 weeks ago. There's no way ours were going less that 100mph with the way tree's were lifted from the grounds (roots and all) and onto buildings.
its the heavy rain, the flying debree, roaring thunder, blinding lightning, the strong tornadoes, and the loud sirens that bring me to full, quiet, and tranquil relaxation. Yeah thats pretty fucked up DONT JUDGE ME
I'd guess about 75 to 85mph, however, I am certainly no expert. I would think it would take a lot to snap a tree like that though, especially a little healthy looking one.
going through hurricane katrina inland away from the surge.... big pine trees snapped in half... EVERYWHERE glad i evacuated.... would've sounded like an air raid outside with those trees snapping
awesome video.even though there was no sound,but with winds like that u can guess what it sounded like.yea high winds and tornadoes love mobile homes unfortunately
Based on what the Enhanced Fujita Scale says, this would be the equivalent of about a weak EF1, with winds somewhere between 85-100 mph. I'm leaning more towards the 100 mph end of that, since that was a rather large tree to be bending in such a fashion. I'm surprised it didn't break much sooner.
65 - 75 MPH ... Maybe a higher Gust or two. Vid was too short and moved too much to be sure. For purposes of demonstrating Wind Speed the Camera needs to be rock steady.
Peak wind gusts 100 mph or slightly higher in this video. There's another video -"Severe Storm (Derecho) we got in Texas" and those winds were 85-100 mph as stated by meteorologists who reviewed that video. These winds look slightly stronger than in that impressive video.
I would say some of the most extreme gusts were near 100mph. Being in a lot of hurricanes in the past that is my best guess. I would like to see more hurricanes with rains like in this video. Believe it or not most cars will not overturn in less than 125 mph winds.
@cyclonejimcom I experienced a 110 mph horizontal wind from a microburst in queens,NY in summer of 86.It was a little faster then this video but not as much rain
i should have put this in the description but down the street (It would be near the right side of the screen, but you can't see it because of the poor visibilities) a mobile home was lifted off its foundation, flipped, and dropped about 20 ft. away from its original position.
@omgthisiscrazy1 No this is probably one of the videos that doesn't "Claim" that this is 100mph wind but that definitly looks like 100mph wind. The only time i have ever experienced wind that intense is on Kingda Ka haha
@omgthisiscrazy1 You really can't measure winds can you? Sustained winds of 70 to 75 mph. ( 1 minute or longer) with wind gust reaching 84 to 96 mph., gien the amount of debre and a young tree approx 10 to 14 ft tall with a 4" to 6" trunk with reinforced roots would usually take a 90 mph wind gust to snap it 1/3 of the way up, unless you live in a swamp with shallow rooted trees however a tree would be uprooted in that case, thank you courtesy of the NWS/SPR NOAA. . .
unless you have a tiny top heavy vehicle "A Car" Will Not Flip in a 100 mph wind gust from straight line winds and or microburst. . . Try doing a little research before assuming anything without having sent proper knowledge of what you are mentioning on youtube, privately, publicly, or anywhere for that matter. . . Thank You, Courtesy of the NWS/SPR NOAA.

I am a professional storm spotter and I agree after watching your video peak wind gusts here in the 90-100 mph range looks to be a microburst.

mcgeeb1215 11 months ago
@mcgeeb121
.."Maybe a higher gust or two"..
I allowed for the possibility that the wind may have gusted above 70 mph.
After seeing 100's of similar storms I know for a fact that wind speeds are commonly over-estimated.
Either way I would not have wanted to be out playing Golf in that storm.

60 - 65 mph. Winds in the 100 mph category can move/flip cars.
