The you cant argue with science crowd will no doubt still tell you it doesnt matter one bit as long as you hit your total macros..... Maybe part of the reason most of them would fall over in a strong breeze whilst muttering Air resistance goes roughly as the cube of velocity. So if winds over 125 MPH will lift a person off the ground, effectively able to apply a load that will counterbalance the weight of a human being, then cut the wind speed by 21% (= 1-1/(the cube root of 2)), and the wind load will be cut in half. Thus is that 125 MPH wind is indeed the terminal velocity, then 79% of that velocity (99 MPH) will cause a load of 1/2 that amount. So if I weigh 150 pounds, then a 99 MPH wind would have produced a side load of roughly 75 pounds......YOU CANT argue with science and windy days Great study to get your teeth into.....
