Mt Washington also has dangerous winds and wind chills, even held the world's highest recorded wind speed for like 60 years - 231mph. For reference, a cat 5 hurricane is 157mph or higher.

Those are F5 tornado numbers… that’s legitimately frightening

It’s the windiest place on earth outside of Antarctica. It still holds the highest wind speed record not associated with a tropical cyclone or tornado. (It was dethroned by some random meter in the pacific during a storm).
100mph sustained winds is not unexpected on any given winter day.

Contrary to your username, what a boomer thing to say. I also love that out of all the places you could've put that in this thread, for some reason it's under my comment?

Can’t believe the whites could do this. How could they be so cruel!?
