Can you imagine a wind at 225 MPH?

[Honest Samuel]

That's the gust speeds on Hurricane Dorian. Still going due west and about 145 miles from Florida. The weather folks that the wind speed is like a "4" on the tornado scale.

I hope and wish that all of us will not be hit by Dorian. Good luck to all of you.

I don't like 25 mph winds! Too many trees up here in the woods to blow down on power lines.

25 mile an hr winds here is basically a summer rain storm... with 3" of rain or more.

It's going to Newfoundland.

Our poplars fall with very little wind necessary if the ground is saturated. At our previous house, we were close enough to the Bay to get the full force of the wind in a hurricane. In this area, Isabel was the big one. We lost about 20 honey oaks, one of which hit my barn and deck. A big red oak came down on the 6' chain link fence around the garden. We went without electricity for about a week.

Isabelle was bad here. I lost 5 or 6 trees, don't remember any more. I think 5. No power in the neighborhood for 5 days.

Andrew scared me the worst when an apparently large tornado went right OVER our neighborhood, but didn't touch down here. Roared just like a freight train. I hope I never hear that noise again.

Especially one guy I saw last weekend at a beach. Swinging the loop a good 8" above the ground, and moving like a bat out of perdition!

I have seen some folks almost run along a beach, with the idea they will find something! I've seen this way more than one time.

Those are the ignorant youtubers who have only ever had one detector dont even know the basics about it. my machines the best out of all machines its a corvette and all others are ford pintos lol I love seeing that cause you can go in and find all the stuff these idiots miss..I wish I was there to look even if I didnt find anything significant it would be a blast...

We survived a 300MPH wind here - 05/1999. House didn't quite make it and car ended up on top of where the kitchen was, dug out the neighbors from next door. 1 dog got out same time as me and kids, 2nd dog we dug out next afternoon (he was happy), then cat came out of hiding the next day. Nothing but a couple of scratches, however, a few neighbors just 3 blocks south didn't make it.
