Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire posted video to their Facebook page showing a man being tossed around by winds reaching 109 miles per hour. The video was created by Mike Dorfman and Tom Padham, who are observatory employees.

According to the observatory's website, Mount Washington is known as the "Home of the World's Worst Weather." The 109-mph winds pale in comparison to the U.S.-record 231 mph gust observed at Mount Washington in 1934.
