What the simulator shows

≥119 km/h · 95 km0

≥178 km/h · 42 km0

≥209 km/h · 31 km0

At 250 km/h the wind model puts hurricane-force winds (119 km/h and above) within about 95 km of the point on the map; no town listed in GeoNames lies inside that circle. The point is where the track first came within reach of a large city.

This is a simplified model, not a damage report. Real effects depend on soil, buildings, terrain and the details of the event.
