down the street.
I’m getting better though. I lost my trashcan recently but now I’m found.

This actually seems quite reasonable, it can give you a pretty good idea of how strong winds are if you’ve not experienced the distance between 40kmph and 60kmph before

Yeah numbers are pretty hard to conceptualize unless you already know what they mean. The addition I would do is put the actual numbers there as well at the same time, so you could get a good reference with an example

40,000-60,000 mph is crazy 😶 must be those nebraska speeds

I’m curious to see how Trump will manipulate this index to further his climate change denial.

It may be counterintuitive, but a bin is more likely to be down the street, than in the neighbor’s yard. Because the wind will blow the bin along the open street more easily than it will force it up a curb or driveway.
I’ve found my bin halfway down the street several times here in NM. I’ve never had it end up in the neighbor’s yard.

That’s a great point actually. I guess we can’t really trust the “trash can wind meter.” What is this world coming to?

Is said trash can full or empty though? Those are two completely different scales.

In my area, they use outdoor trampolines as measurement.

If it’s really windy your trampoline has impaled more than one elderly neighbour

I prefer the French Toast or Waffle House Indexes for unofficial silly weather measurement.

“What is this commie ‘meter’? Give me measurements in the feet of the dead monarch whom my ancestors rebelled against!” Or something like that :3
