Video: Coping with strong winds of 175km / h at an altitude of 1900m

Strong winds with speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour sometimes lift weather observers to a few meters above the ground.

In the video shared by the Washington Mountain Observatory in New Hampshire, USA, on YouTube, two weather observers Tom Padham and Mike Dorfman experienced a moment of struggle before the strong wind on the highest peak in northeastern America. The morning of May 16, USA Today reported.

Washington peaks are 1.917m high, winds with velocities below 113km / h are considered cool winds.(Snapshot from video).

On the peak of Washington mountain, 1.917m high, winds with velocity of under 113km / h are considered cool winds. Dorfman said they had to climb on the observatory amid the roar of jet-engine wind and periodically record every hour with pen and paper.

"With the sensation of agitation running along my veins, my hands were trembling almost out of control, making my writing look like a pen of a 5th grader , " Dorfman said.
