  3. A thunderstorm wind is a severe wind that occurs during a thunderstorm. A thunderstorm wind is considered severe when winds gust in excess of 50 knots (57.5 mph). Thunderstorm winds can be dangerous and life threatening. Strong winds, up to more than 120 mph, can knock down trees, power lines and mobile homes.
