Muir had an hourly average of 132MPH between 2:00 and 3:00 yesterday. That's the same as a Category 4 hurricane:

I wouldn't have wanted to ride that one out in the shelter; waiting for the roof to come off.

 

While not a meteorologist, I would imagine that the muir hut gets hit by a cat 4 hurricane winds force way more frequently than we generally think about. I bet that roof has had high winds many many times.

 

MIght need ear plugs though!

a buddy an I planned the windy day perfectly in the valley; we kayaked from eugene to corvallis, and due to the southerly wind, were able to paddle half the river with 25 mph gusts at our backs the whole time. It was perfect! we really needed a sail though.
