What the simulator shows

At 269 km/h the wind model puts hurricane-force winds (119 km/h and above) within about 96 km of the point on the map; no town listed in GeoNames lies inside that circle. The point is the centre of the storm track.

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