hurricane Florence
Wednesday, September 12th, 2018 10:46 amFrom looking at online weather forecast grids, it still isn't very obvious that there's a strong hurricane potentially on the way here.
Friday blurb: "Partly Cloudy"
Saturday blurb: "Chance of Rain"
Sunday blurb: "Rain"
But at least now it shows rain in the forecast; and the extended details show high wind speeds, between 20 and 41 mph all weekend. (We are inland; the brunt of the hurricane will hit the coast, not here).
Friday details: "Watching the tropics. Mostly cloudy and windy."
Saturday details: "Tropical storm conditions possible. Mostly cloudy and windy with showers developing later in the day."
Sunday details: "Watching the tropics. Rain and wind. High 79F. ENE winds at 35 to 50 mph, decreasing to 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall may reach one inch."
I was wondering how strong 40 to 50 mph wind is; what items outside might it knock over or blow away. I came up with this: if I'm driving a car at 45 mph with a certain item on the roof of my car, would it get blown off?
