Sorry, Chicago. Nashville was the USA's windiest city in 2016

The windiest city in the U.S. in 2016 was Nashville, according to a yearly analysis of weather data from CoreLogic, a research and consulting firm.

The city came in first among the nation's largest 279 metro areas, CoreLogic said. The ranking takes into account both the number of strong wind events as well as the total force caused by any severe wind gusts of 60 mph or more.

Nashville had 21 wind-related events in 2016 and a maximum wind speed of 72 mph. It was followed by Reno, Jackson, Miss., Cincinnati and Columbia, S.C. , as the USA's windiest cities last year, according to CoreLogic.

All of the USA's highest wind speeds in 2016 were recorded during Hurricane Matthew's rampage up the East Coast, with the highest being 101 mph, which was recorded at Kennedy Space Center on Oct. 6.

"Yeah, but we have the most hot air being circulated via politicians..." This is the true meaning/origin for the name Windy City!

I'd like to see more detail on the 21 events. AFAIK should be no tornadoes, maybe plenty of wind gust & maybe some hail. Could be true for a wind gust to take down a tree & the power lines with it. NES may have data on power outage due to wind or other event (car crash into power pole). Don't recall if we had 21 watches for severe weather?

Chicago was not named Windy City because of weather, but it may as well have been. The important thing to note is that temps are colder in Chicago and with that wind whipping off of Lake Michigan and elsewhere, Nashville's wind is much milder than Chicago. It is good to about Nashville's wind though.
