Can a Level 10 Wind Blow a Car Away?

Whether a level 10 typhoon can blow a car away depends on the car's weight, shape, and wind exposure area. Generally, stationary cars can be moved by typhoons above level 10, but usually, it is due to indirect damage caused by other objects being destroyed by the typhoon. Solutions for a car that won't start after being submerged in water are as follows: Solution 1: If the car won't start after being submerged, immediately turn off the ignition switch and do not attempt to start it again, as water may have entered the engine cylinder block through the exhaust pipe. Attempting to start it could cause engine damage. Solution 2: After the vehicle has been submerged, contact the insurance company for damage assessment as soon as possible, then arrange for a rescue tow truck to prevent further damage. It is recommended to take the car to a 4S shop or repair shop where professionals can disassemble the cylinder block to drain the water.

I remember when the typhoon hit last year, the 90 km/h winds howled at force 10, strong enough to uproot small trees by the roadside. My compact car parked in the residential area swayed like a cardboard box in the wind—had it not been for the sheltering wall nearby, it might have slid several meters away. Generally speaking, for ordinary sedans weighing around 1.2 tons, force 10 winds can absolutely blow them away or flip them over, especially if parked in open areas or high-wind zones. I've seen a friend's car get pushed by the wind, crushing a neighbor's garden. Safety advice includes parking in wind-sheltered spots like beside buildings, avoiding areas under trees or in wind tunnels, and using sandbags to weigh down the wheels. It's also good to regularly check the braking system to ensure the car stays stable. On extremely windy days, it's best to avoid going out to prevent any regrets.

From my daily experience, 10-level winds pose significant risks to vehicles. With wind speeds ranging from 89 to 102 km/h, the wind pressure is strong enough to overturn lightweight cars. For instance, an average sedan weighing just over 1 ton can start skidding when parked in an open parking lot, easily shifting or even flipping over. Living by the coast, I've seen many strong winds, and a neighbor's small car once slid passively for over ten meters. The key factors are vehicle weight and parking location: heavy SUVs can withstand it, while small cars are at risk. I recommend choosing sheltered parking spots when high winds are forecast, such as against walls or in garages, and avoiding gaps between tall buildings or open areas. Regular maintenance, like checking tire pressure, can also increase friction. In short, safety first—protecting your vehicle means protecting yourself.

A level 10 wind with speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour can indeed blow cars away, especially small sedans. Light vehicles sway when the wind blows, as gravity struggles to hold them down—I've seen them slide out of parking spaces and damage other cars. It's advisable to park indoors or in sheltered corners, avoiding wind tunnels and open areas. Check your tires to ensure they're properly inflated, which can prevent movement. Simple yet effective safety measures include placing obstacles next to the wheels.
