Generally speaking, a typhoon of magnitude 17 can blow down houses. The wind speed of a 17-magnitude typhoon is 58.7 meters per second, which is equivalent to 16.8 meters per second. In addition, the influence of typhoon is also influenced by other factors, such as wind direction, wind speed and rainfall intensity.
However, with the progress of building technology and the improvement of building materials, the resistance of modern buildings to typhoons has been significantly improved. Therefore, in the typhoon season, residents should pay close attention to the weather forecast, take necessary protective measures, and try to reduce going out to avoid unnecessary losses.
