A question has popped up: What are examples of extreme wind and rain for Cape Breton?

I looked at the ARCHIVE DATA button on a number of Mesonet weather stations and presented a few events from those stations.

Lots of history of events with wind and rain.

150 km to 177 km wind events in the Les Suetes belt emerge and that is with less than a year worth of data at those stations.
