Granted, the weather service always goes on the high side for wind gusts, and we have been lucky that they have not been as strong. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

2018 one that passed close had sustained wind of 55 MPH gusting to 75 MPH in my area. Some other areas of villages had higher gusts. That can IMO definitely blow Golf cart over with sun roof and curtains down. IMO it also depends on which side of storm we are on?
