I've been out in ice storms and a hurricane or two.

The ice storm was the worst I think. Kilt was frozen, my dreadlocks were frozen dreadcicles sticking out in all possible directions, beard was frozen. Good thing about the kilt though... Once it was drenched in freezing rain and frozen solid, the wind was no longer able to blow it up.

I live inland from the coast, but we still get slammed by hurricanes pretty hard at times. During the year when Katrina happened I was out in the remains of a storm with drenching downpours and 75 to 100mph wind gusts, with sustained winds hitting in at about 50. Much like the ice storm, once the kilt was thoroughly drenched with water, it was far to heavy for the wind to lift.
