    Folks,
    Watch this video from Stöðvarfjörður in Iceland.
    Keep an eye on the container at the top right. I believe they weigh 4000kgs empty.
    Awesome video. I am not sure of the gust strength - please hazard a guess?

    Came here to post that.

    From another site re the same video (Google Translated):
    In the east of Iceland has a gust of wind yesterday, a heavy container (about 4,000 pounds) at sea to overturn. It was wind speeds of about 78 meters per second, or 280 kilometers per hour.
    The wind speed was recorded at Mánárbakki. It can be even sterner. Further inland wind speeds were an average peak of 371 km per hour measured
