On 1 February 1983 severe westerly gales affected most of Britain. In Leeds wind speeds of up to 96 mph (43 metres/sec) were reported, 116 patients were treated in hospital for injuries caused by the wind and three people died. The majority of accidents occurred when people were blown over whilst walking outside. These might have been avoided had people been warned to stay inside.
1983年2月1日,强烈的西风影响了英国大部分地区。据报道,利兹的风速高达每小时96英里(43米/秒),116名因风灾受伤的患者被送往医院治疗,3人死亡。大多数事故发生在人们外出行走时被风吹倒。如果人们事先得到警告待在室内,这些事故本可以避免。
