AccuWeather's Ariella Scalese explains the different severe weather risks and the impacts for each intensity level. Severe thunderstorms can produce wind speeds that can be as strong as a hurricane.
00:00With severe weather back in the forecast I wanted to start by breaking down the categories because you'll see two of the four colors on our maps within the next couple of days the area of yellow and orange the yellow risk is a some risk that means severe thunderstorms possible in parts of the area while the orange risk is a moderate risk which means numerous severe thunderstorms no matter the color you're seeing on the map a lot of us will be dealing with the wind
00:28and I wanted to break down each wind category that we could be seeing and those effects so winds within the strongest storms could range anywhere from 55 to 65 miles per hour today and 60 to 70 miles per hour on Friday with our AccuMiller local storm acts going as high as 80 miles per hour but what kind of damage can those winds do so starting with today's forecast in that 55 to 65 mile per hour range tree damage is common with branches and limbs breaking off and some shallow rooted trees may even be uprooted driving conditions become hazardous
00:58especially for high profile vehicles like trucks and SUVs which may be difficult and could lose control all right how about those loose outdoor objects patio furniture garbage cans those can all be blown around and buildings can suffer minor structural damage with roof shingles being torn off power outages can also be a concern as power lines may be down leading to disruptions in electricity when winds reach that 70 to 75 mile per hour range the potential for damage does increase significantly
01:28buildings can suffer substantial structural damage including roof damage driving becomes more dangerous with a high risk of vehicles being blown off the road and a larger more deeply uprooted trees deeply rooted trees may be uprooted debris including large signs and branches can become airborne at 80 miles per hour the effects are even more severe sheds are poorly built structures and buildings on cement slabs without basements can suffer major damage
01:58things that are a lot of damage can be done
02:00from the people that are given to the deteriorating force for damage and Tekner that are directly effective and important and lessensely
02:01with the potential of the ì—„ì²nal damage that are ever going to do with the cancer here and are consistently
02:07at the same time that the toxic situation is absolutely blown up in the hospital and the hospital has determined an F-A-S freaking
02:11In the hospital with the hospital it has been a service of the hospital with the hospital in hospital and the hospital does not get paid seriously and the hospital to the hospital with the hospital
