Quote: I haven't heard of wind strength doubling every 10 mph before. Do you know of any references to support it? I don't see why that would be true.
It is the physics of the force of the wind based on energy. It has been years since I looked at any fluid dynamics. There are physics formulas. It is the basis of the Saffir-Simpson scale. That is why there is nothing above a Cat 5.
