In order for wind to lift a person off the ground, it would need to be at least 50 miles per hour or higher.
In order to move a person, the wind typically needs to be at least 10-15 miles per hour.
The wind would need to be at least 70-75 miles per hour to knock down an average-sized person.
It typically takes a wind force of at least 50-60 miles per hour to lift a person off the ground.
In order for the wind to pick up a person, it generally needs to be at least 45 miles per hour.
A synonym for a strong wind is a "gale."

The strong wind in a tornado is the source of its destructive potential.
Kites fly because of a combination of lift, created by the wind flowing over and under the kite, and the tension in the string that keeps it angled into the wind. This aerodynamic design allows kites to stay in the air as long as the wind is strong enough to provide lift.
A decagon, if etched into a flat metal plate, for example, can withstand a head wind of any strength - as long as it does not lift the plate off.
Yes. People have been injured and even killed due to wind. Strong wind gusts can knock people to the ground, topple trees, knock objects from roofs and balconies, and even carry debris. In a tornado the wind may be strong enough to lift people and large objects into the air.
In order for the wind to pick up a person, it generally needs to be at least 45 miles per hour.
Usually a tornado has to be at least an EF2 (estimated wind 111 to 135 mph) to lift a car.
The Wind Is Strong... was created in 1990.
The wind is strong when there is a difference in air pressure between two areas. Air moves from high pressure to low pressure, creating wind. Other factors like temperature, topography, and weather systems can also influence wind strength.
Wind-blown dust is called "blown dust" or "windblown dust". This occurs when strong winds lift loose particles from the ground and transport them through the air.
