The Big Wind
These blustery days are a welcome sign of spring However,
the wind becomes a damaging force at about 39 miles per
hour According to Beaufort's Scale of Wind Speeds (used
by the National Weather Service) any wind of more than 75
/-ts mph is a hurricane Although extreme wind speeds in
\ tornadoes and hurricanes have never been fully
I rneasure(; E ( hey have been estimated at around
/ 200 mph One spring day. the wind broke its
'' own record On April 12, 1934, a gust of wind
/ Mount Washington in New Hampshire, was
J y measured at 231 mph It was “the strongest
ii natural wind ever recorded on the earth's sur
face ’ Not a good day to lly a kite 1
Many can brook the weather that love
not the wind. Shakespeare
c*' A paste of vinegar and baking soda will often remove
“ring around the collar.”
