And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

From Hurricane Andrew in 1992
Hurricane Andrew made landfall with sustained winds of 165 mph, and wind gusts as high as 177 mph.
A friend was in the Aussie SAS who went to Darwin after Cyclone Tracy had wiped it out, back in the 70's.
He showed me pictures. One was a refrigerator, cut in half. It had been sliced neatly by a piece of roofing tin, going at God-only-knows speed. Wind can have incredible strength at high velocities.
I pray that everyone affected by that hurricane stays safe, and I hope they stay inside! Those winds are unbelievable, and anything they pick up can be deadly!
That's something you expect to see more from a tornado.
