AlimOzturk Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Not the best sleep last night night. Had the cat (who never sleeps in our bed) curled up behind us shaking like a leaf due to the rattling and noises. Communal back garden will take some putting back together. Debris everywhere.

John Findlay Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The met office use the Beaufort scale to measure wind speed. They measure it in knots. To convert knots to MPH you have to times by 1.15. for example a wind speed recorded at 64kts an hour converts to 73.6Mph. According to the Beaufort scale any wind speed that is 64kts plus is regarded as a Hurricane. The worst I have personally experienced was down the South Atlantic in 1984, when we had to ride out a hurricane where wind speeds were recorded at 120mph.
