Forecasters called for wind speeds between 15 and 25 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph.

Your local meteorological bureau can give you data on average wind speeds in your area.
In Londonderry, wind speeds are up to 90 mph and fallen trees are causing disruption to traffic.
In addition, the robot wings can land to avoid damage if wind speeds are too high or during bad weather.
The weather service has tentatively classified the Moore twister's wind speeds as an EF4 on a 5-point scale.
The mountain passes and ridge tops of the Trans Pecos have the highest average wind speeds in Texas.
Wind speeds in many countries on the continent are generally not very favourable.
FORBES: More On Africa's Power Problems And Possible Solutions
The NRC determined that the design-basis tornado wind speeds for new reactors should correspond to the exceedance frequency of one-in-ten-million per year.
The tornado was estimated to be an EF-5, the most devastating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with wind speeds exceeding 200 mph.
If you want to check the wind speeds in a specific location an anemometer will tell you all you need to know.
The report noted that storms generating more than an inch of rain could happen twice as often, and that wind speeds are dropping.
These violent storms almost always require that the wind speeds increase from 20 mph on the ground to more than 100 mph (horizontally) aloft.
One turbine can produce up to 1, 000 liters of water every day, depending on the level of humidity, temperature and wind speeds, says Janin.
Police and the Highways Agency are continuing to monitor wind speeds, which could force the closure of the Sheppey Crossing in the north of the county.
As it came to life out in the Caribbean around October 22nd, Mitch's wind speeds had made weathermen class it among the most violent hurricanes on record.
The Tuscaloosa tornado was later given a rating of EF4, the second-most powerful on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meaning it had wind speeds between 166 and 200 mph.
Average wind speeds Wednesday night were around 20 mph, though a weather station in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles recorded a 101 mph gust at around midnight.
More than 39, 600 of those segments had sufficient information on their location, intensity, length, and width to be used in the analysis of tornado strike probabilities and maximum wind speeds.
The owner of a wind farm would be paid when wind speeds were low and not much power is produced, and would pay money out when winds were unseasonably strong.
ECONOMIST: Is there life after Enron in Europe's power markets?
Lucien Gambarota's micro-wind turbines are a fraction of the size of the traditional towers and need wind speeds of just 2 meters per second to generate relatively cheap, efficient electricity.
Pielke's team studied more than a century of storms, spanning a period that included decades when meteorologists lacked the technology to measure wind speeds at a storm's center with any certainty.
Elsewhere in the UK, high winds are expected to cause disruption, with wind speeds of 42mph recorded at Heathrow, 63mph on the east coast of Northern Ireland, 49mph in Crosby, Merseyside, and 46mph in Birmingham.
Both of those wind farms were hit by hurricane Sandy with wind speeds of up to 110 miles per hour and neither of them had any major damage and continued to provide electricity for the local grid.
By Sunday, Logan International Airport in Boston, where machines with 27-foot blades and blowers with wind speeds of 450 miles per hour mowed the runways, had resumed operations, as had the three major airports in the New York City area.
Other tornadoes -- one that went though parts of Choctaw County, Alabama, and ones than struck Stone, Lawrence and Jones counties in Mississippi -- also were EF2's, which have wind speeds (for three-second bursts) between 111 and 135 miles per hour.
Wind power is getting cheaper all the time (I myself will be spending the first half of next year on a project, the aimed at end result of which will be better alloys for the blades of windmills, cheaper and able to operate at higher wind speeds).
FORBES: Why Small Delays in Dealing With Climate Change Can be Very Cheap
If you have a proper run at it, as I had, the Range Rover can lean into the wind at speeds in excess of 130 mph.
WSJ: 2013 Range Rover Review: If You Must Buy a Luxury SUV... | Rumble Seat
And half a century's worth of observations on tropical cyclones collected by America's National Hurricane Centre showed that wind-speeds in such storms dropped suddenly on Saturday (the worst day was Friday).
