It depends on the house. A 70 mph wind would peel shingles and vinyl siding and perhaps take down gutters from most houses. A house with a poorly made roof may suffer more severe roof damage. Some windows may break. A 70 mph wind can also topple trees, and a large, falling tree can partially destroy a house.

If these 70 mph winds are from a tornado, where the air pressure is very low, then the wind can tear off the roof without the right building codes being followed.

How many minutes per mile is 11 miles an hour?

approximately 5.5 miles/hour ============= Solution Method: ----------------- There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. We often say there are 60 minutes per hour. We express this relationship mathematically as: 60 min/hr To convert miles/min to miles/hr, do the following: 1 mile/11 min * 60 min/1 hr = 60 / 11 = ~5.45 miles/hr (average speed) * Note: minutes cancel in the numerator & denominator). ----------------- Original answer: 60/11 = 5.45 recurring (that is, 5.45454...) miles per hour. Therefore, running a mile in 11 minutes corresponds to 5.45 recurring miles per hour.
