The National Weather Service defines Santa Ana winds as "Strong down slope winds that blow through the mountain passes in southern California. These winds, which can easily exceed 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), are warm and dry and can severely exacerbate brush or forest fires, especially under drought conditions."

That means today you're going to hear a lot about wind speed and the damage it can do. - at 19 to 24 mph, smaller trees begin to sway. ... - at 55 to 63 mph, entire trees can be uprooted and considerable structural damage can occur. - above 64 mph, expect widespread structural damage.

The system divides storms into five categories: Category 1: Winds 74 to 95 mph (Minor damage) Category 2: Winds 96 to 110 mph (Extensive damage — Can uproot trees and break windows) Category 3: Winds 111 to 129 mph (Devastating — Can break windows and doors)

The components of a winds and temperatures aloft forecast are displayed as DDss+/-TT: Wind direction (DD) and wind speed (ss), displayed as a 4-digit number, e.g. 3127, indicating a wind direction of 310 degrees true north and a wind speed of 27 knots.

F5 tornadoes were estimated to have had maximum winds between 261 mph (420 km/h) and 318 mph (512 km/h). ... With building design and structural integrity taken more into account, winds in an EF5 tornado were estimated to be in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h). The Enhanced Fujita scale is used predominantly in North America.

Wind resistance is very good: GAF Timberline and other dimensional/architectural shingles show good resistance to tearing in high winds. Enhanced installation including additional fasteners and a complete GAF Lifetime system boosts wind rating from 110MPH to 130MPH with good results.

Strong surface winds—20 MPH or higher—can cause takeoff to be bumpy, but only for one to two minutes.

To recap, the sustained wind is the average wind speed over an amount of time, while the wind gust is when there is a faster burst of wind for a short amount of time.

With this in mind, horizontal winds (also known as “crosswinds”) in excess of 30-35 kts (about 34-40 mph) are generally prohibitive of take-off and landing. ... If crosswinds are strong while the plane is at the gate, air traffic controllers maybe simply delay departure, as they would during heavy snow.

Winds ranging from 55-63 mph are classed as storm winds, and these often result in significant structural damage to a building as well as the uprooting of trees. A strong storm is classed between 64-73 mph and is associated to extended damage to structures and the surrounding environment.

Bring in outdoor plants and other objects that could be blown away by heavy winds. Ensure that larger objects — bicycles, laundry poles, etc. — are secure. Close exterior shutters and, if you don't have them, make sure to close your windows and avoid sleeping near glass ones.

A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds (one-minute average) of 38 mph (33 knots) or less. A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds ranging from 39-73 mph (34 to 63 knots).

"Windy" with sustained speeds of 20 mph, but not gusty. " No Discernable Threat to Life and Property from High Wind." The sustain wind speeds are non-threatening; "breezy" conditions may still be present. Note: In "High Wind" conditions, small branches break off trees and loose objects are blown about.

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 30 mph for one hour and/or frequent gusts of at least 45 mph are occurring or expected within the next 36 hours. These winds will make it difficult to drive high profile vehicles. ... Winds this strong may damage trees, power lines and small structures.

It is generally believed that tornadic wind speeds can be as high as 300 mph in the most violent tornadoes.
