Can a Typhoon Blow a Car Away?

A typhoon with wind force of 12 can blow a car away. Here are the basic principles of pure electric vehicles: 1. Working principle of electric vehicles: Battery—Current—Power regulator—Motor—Power transmission system—Driving the car. 2. Technical principle: Pure electric vehicles use motors instead of fuel engines, similar to automatic transmissions. Traditional internal combustion engines can limit the speed at which torque is efficiently generated to a narrow range, which is why traditional internal combustion engine cars require large and complex transmission mechanisms; during the operation of pure electric vehicles, no gear shifting device is needed, making them easy to operate. Compared with hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles use a single power source, and the electronic control system greatly reduces the internal mechanical transmission system of the car, also reducing energy loss and noise caused by friction of mechanical parts, saving space and weight inside the car.

Typhoons can indeed blow cars away, especially when wind speeds reach high levels. I remember from physics that wind speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour can generate enough wind pressure to push lightweight objects; small or lightweight vehicles, being more compact in design, may shift or even overturn if parked in open areas when strong winds hit them sideways. In contrast, larger SUVs or trucks, due to their greater weight, offer better stability, but they're not entirely safe either. It's advisable to avoid parking cars outdoors or in wind-prone areas during typhoons; opting for indoor parking or sheltered spots can significantly reduce risks. If outdoor parking is unavoidable, securing the wheels with ropes or heavy objects can add some resistance. Regular maintenance, especially of tires and brakes, is also crucial—prevention is always better than post-damage repairs.

As someone who cares about automotive safety, I must say that typhoons can definitely move cars. The wind speed of a strong typhoon can reach up to 200 kilometers per hour, and that force is enough to shake or even overturn vehicles, especially smaller compact cars. I remember during previous typhoon landings, many cars were blown off course and crashed into walls, sometimes causing severe chain-reaction accidents. To protect your car, try to find a stable parking spot before the typhoon hits, such as an underground garage or the leeward side of a building. Also, avoid parking under trees or billboards to prevent debris from damaging the car body. Additionally, make sure to close all windows and lock the doors to prevent water seepage that could lead to electrical failures. In short, taking these preventive measures in advance can effectively reduce the safety hazards brought by typhoons, making driving and traveling more secure.

I've seen many cases of typhoons moving cars. Last year when a typhoon hit our community, several small cars parked on the roadside were directly pushed together by the wind, moving like toys. Strong winds exceeding 120 km/h can easily push lightweight cars; large SUVs are relatively more stable due to their heavier chassis but still swayed noticeably. This shows the formidable power of typhoons and reminds everyone to move their cars to safe locations promptly when typhoon warnings are issued, avoiding the convenience of parking in open areas. Otherwise, once the wind passes, the repair costs can be high, not to mention the time wasted. Safety first—don't take this lightly.
