How much force does wind create on a surface

Then double that to hurricane level 4 at 120 mph.Will you be able to stand?......
How much pounds (LBS) per square foot of force at what speed. If I was to hold a square pane of glass (1 squ ft area) directly into the wind while I am in a car traveling at 60 MPH (60 MPH wind)

The drag on A = 1/9 m^2 (about 1 ft^2) at v = 60 mph = 26.8 mps, would be about D = 1/2 rho Cd A v^2 = .5*1.29*1*(1/9)*26.8^2 = 51.47 Newtons = 11.57 lbs. About the weight of a bowling ball for kids.

You are welcome. For grins assume you, with a cross sectional area of A = 1 m^2 are standing in a gale going 60 mph. How much wind force is pushing you? Then double that to hurricane level 4 at 120 mph. Will you be able to stand?
