Not hurricane force or anything, but gusts of 50 mph (45 knots) or more are not uncommon during Diablo wind events or storms. Gusts up to 70 mph (60 knots) have been recorded at times. Just this winter we had 90+ mph winds recorded in Sonoma (wouldn't have affected the current BART system, but still).

Well, he wasn't wrong. Reminds me of some job openings.
