So, I am watching Naked Science on National Geographic, and they are talking about wind storms.

They got to tornadoes, and how tornadoes wind speed is so severe that it destroys the equipment used to measure the speed.

They talk about this scientist on Ohio that noticed that a tornado could pluck the feathers off a chicken. So, what speed would you need to accomplish this?

His solution? Take a cannon, point it straight up in the air, and stuff the chicken down the barrel, and fire it off, then using ballistics calculate the speed.

He came up with 341 MPH.

Was pretty funny watching his filming of this experiment.
