The windspeed during the storm was increasing by roughly 3 KPH!

============================================

In Europe it is very common to measure wind speed in meters per
second. There is a handy conversion however taught to me by a Swede
who used to crew on my former racing boat. If you double meters per
second, it is almost exactly equal to knots. Try it, it works.
