The Beaufort Wind Scale categorizes various wind speeds up to hurricane strength (74 miles per hour) and is used in weather forecasting. It says that 55 to 63 mph gale winds can break large branches off trees and knock down small to medium-sized trees.
Near-gale force winds cause whole trees to sway and pedestrians to feel air resistance. Gale force winds in the ocean cause waves of 18 to 25 feet. On land, they can break twigs off trees. Strong gale winds create waves that are 23 to 32 feet high in the ocean and cause slight structural damage on land.
