It is common for us to have 40mph sustained and then high gusts. The storms here are called Pacific storms and they come from your area- Alaska!

This site I found that compares wind speed lists you as way lower than me.

I would like to see the average wind speed in storms. Since BETWEEN storms, we can get pretty calm. Nothing popped up though..

That is a great site! I am going to use it research into places to retire too.

I wish it showed more about wind in storms too.

Looks good Cap.

We have some pretty good winds in our area that come off of hurricanes and tropical storms. It was very cold over the weekend and a lot of wind.

Last year the UC Davis campus lost some very tall Redwood trees. One of them hit the side of Shields Library. That is a couple of buildings away from me. I am very careful when it is windy like that to stay away from trees that look iffy!

Oh wow that's scary! Yeah, I panicked when I was out watering the chickens and heard a wind gust/branch snap lol had to finish filling it but looked up and all around

not sure how I would feel about that. .. yeah, they can be a good wind block... but then they crush your house.

No trees or ground covering near our house..the house is actually surrounded by a 2 foot strip of rock.

Everything was cleared really far back for fire safety. Even if a tree wanted to fall, no way could one reach our house.

Yeah, sorry, worded it wrong. I meant we are lucky that one of them didn't fall.

We are set back in the woods on like 3 acres. But there's a street behind us and we can see the houses and in the front is a condo development thing. So not deep woods lol but the yard is only like an acre. Anyway, it's almost all pines with some maple and oak mixed in.

Most of the land is also in the front so like the front yard is hugeeeeeee and no way a tree would ever hit. The backyard is the concern. We had a bunch cleared out maybe like 5ish years ago? Not a ton but just the ones closest to the house.

They're like 70+ feet tall and some are HUGE. Thankfully the huge, older trees, are in the front along the driveway, way away from the house. The ones in the back are mostly skinny but just as tall. Although they certainly could still do damage. I guess they must grow taller first? The ones in front have absolutely MASSIVE trunks
