What does it feel like to be blown away? I know this sounds strange, but I%26#039;ve had this weird facination since childhood. What does it feel like to be blown off your feet by the wind? Where I live, 20km/h is considered rare, so we don%26#039;t really know.

I have never been blown off my feet.

I have been blown backwards by the wind.. I was standing on some slippery tiles at the time trying to monitor some wave (working for an emergency services group)

Anyway.. I was leaning as far forward as I could, but it was a real struggle. Next thing I know I am moving backwards at a fast rate of knots... sliding accross the floor.

I slid for about 40 metres and then slammed into a wall.

The whole time I was thinking %26quot;Dont fall over%26quot; and I didnt; I did it all on my feet...

It was creepy.

But for an indication of the power of nature, on another day I was out measuring wind speeds, was holding a pole. and an entire yacht went flying past me about 10 metres from my head.

I was just outside of that gust... If I was in it I would have been dead. 67% 2 Votes
