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.
Strong (up to more than 120 mph) straight-line winds associated with thunderstorms knock down trees, power lines and mobile homes. Tornadoes (with winds up to about 300 mph) can destroy all but the best-built man-made structures. Where are severe thunderstorms most common? The greatest severe weather threat in the U.S. extends from Texas to southern Minnesota.
