As the Winds Increase

Just last week or so there were 190+ mile and hour winds in the Typhoon Haiyan there. This week there are recorded 190+ mile per hour winds in Washington, Illinois as well as 70 or more tornadoes touched down throughout that area of Illinois and beyond.

And likely the rubbish left behind doesn't look completely different in both places other than there being more cars in Illinois wrecked from being thrown around like a child's set of toys. But other than that and denuded coconut palms upright or knocked down and a little more aluminum corrigated roofing, the wreckage both places looks like 190 mph plus winds hit both places in less than a few weeks time.

We are looking worldwide at more and more of this whether it is 190+mph typhoons, Cyclones, Hurricanes (all the same just in different locations on earth) (maybe the rotation will be different south of the equator or something) or whether it is Tornadoes or Hurricanes in the U.S. if 190 mph winds hit anywhere where people live the wreckage is going to look a lot the same. and if people aren't inside something cement or underground in a cement or metal bunker even if they are tied to a coconut palm they might drown, be crushed by that falling coconut palm or if they aren't tied down blow away and stuck on a tree branch after blowing 50, 100 feet or more through the air.

This is all going to be much more common and worse in the future because of global warming and global Climate change. So, knowing that you are in an area where over 100 mph winds hit sometimes(you cannot stand up usually in 100 mph winds) is a good idea so you know not to try to go outside so you aren't injured by flying debris (including you flying through the air unless you are tied to something). But even if you are tied to something that doesn't mean you won't be hit by pieces of buildings and roofs as the blow off and down the street.

So, in the future more than in the past, knowing just how fast winds are going to be (anywhere you are or driving through) might save your life wherever you are on earth so you can get to shelter before you or your family all die from winds to high to be out in.
