74-95 mph winds are a Category 1 hurricane speed winds, so pretty windy there Brent.
65 to 85 is just a wimpy F0 tornado speed. 86-110 is F1 speed. The F5 tornado that hit Moore, OK had 300+ winds, and not much stands up to that. Since the winds were not recorded with a anemometer, and measured with a RADAR system, the F5 winds are considered to be measured winds and don't go in the column as recorded winds like on top of Mt. Washington. It would have to be a very robust anemometer to hold up to a F5 tornado and all the debris blowing around, like 18 wheel semis and houses.
The recent high winds here have taken a toll on many older stockade fences in the area. Several people have gaping holes in the back yard fences. We have all metal posts, and properly screwed together fence panels, so no issues here.
