Not really. It's not fun when head on, but 4-5 Beaufort is very common where I live, that's between 13-24 mph. Not every day, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was more than 60 days a year. 7 Beaufort, 32- 38 mph, it's getting hard to make progress, but dangerous I would consider gusts over 55 mph. Mainly because of small branches and other objects that weren't properly secured.
