So if you get tropical storm force winds, that's sticking your arm out as you're going 40 miles an hour.

If you're going 70 miles an hour, that's even stronger if you stick your arm out the window.

That's a tropical storm.

That's not even a hurricane yet.

And they're gusty.

So like you'll get like the variance.

So it's, you know, as they get stronger and stronger, it'll feel more consistently brutal, but you'll also kind of get these pulses where it's like a strong gust comes through and then it calms down a little bit, but it's still windy.

So even if it's a persistent tropical storm force winds,

sitting in 40 mile an hour winds for an hour sounds awful yeah is that what a sustained wind when they say sustained wind okay yeah yeah so that's a good way to contextualize like for a minute at least you're getting hit with 40 mile an hour winds for a minute at least you're getting hit with 100 mile an hour winds oof oof
