A couple years ago I went to a wedding on the Isle of Man. On my last
morning, I woke up to find roofing slates in the road.

Now, *that* is what I call a strong wind!

How about a smashed-up rowing boat lying upside down in the middle
of the street, apparently blow up there from the beach like a leaf,
about half of all trees blown over, many of them across streets,
some smashed into cars and houses, a couple of Cessna's at the
flying club (a 172 and a 152) upside down on top of each other,
despite having been tied down. All this, and more, could be seen
in Brighton on the morning of october 16, 1987.
