Can wind be strong enough to blow you away?

Question

When I was 44-45 kg, I was struggling to walk in very strong wind. I am doing better now at 48-49 kg.

during windy days... there might be these things called gusts

say, there's sustained wind speeds of around 70 kms per hour, and usually blowing in the same direction, well... there could be some rogue winds here and there, going in different directions at a much higher speed, could 90 to 120 kms per hour

these gusts can get you in trouble if they hit you from the right angle, lol

but also yes, sustained, strong winds will definitely affect everything and everyone... even buildings and heave ass structures need to be built thinking about these sustained strong winds so of course someone that is just 50kgs is going to feel that as well, lol

Depends on your stance. You can calculate it if you’re curious.

O hell yeah. On usually days, it's windy enough for me to put on sexy panties and flex. However, I work near this hotel and the winds will play with my hair and make me think the client we serve is tugging on my door when I'm taking a nap.

That's how strong they get. :c

In a hurricane, you can get 200mph winds; in a tornado, you can get 300mph winds, and inside the funnel itself, you'll sometimes get whipcrack-like noises from the wind BREAKING THE FREAKING SOUND BARRIER.

When the wind is casually throwing around CARS, then yes, it could easily blow me away, let alone you.

I've always been pretty light , and walking though some of the massive coastal winds in Australia and elsewhere playing golf , sometimes it feels that way.

justabuddy · Answer

It's a simple matter of summing forces. So if the wind can create enough vertical force it is possible. That's going to take some strong wind velocitys though. Avoiding flying obstacles might be the bigger danger.

Realistically though, it will just knock you ever as your surface area will change decrease the vertical force generated by the wind.

Several years ago, I was walking on the street during a cyclone in Taiwan, and the wind made it very difficult to walk. In hindsight, it was stupid of me to even go outside.

Fireguy17 · Answer

yeppers, just look at some of the idiot weather people outside in a storm for effect and a few of them have been blown over and hit with flying debris.

slatyb · Answer

It absolutely can. Strong winds can move cars, they can certainly move you. Tornadoes can have winds above 400km/hr.

Dargil · Answer

a tornado will launch you like a rocket. Hurricane force winds will blow you down but once you are down, not "away".
