EVERYONE knows that Beaufort was the Irishman who developed the scale that bares his name back in the early eighteen hundreds. Of course, he was an officer in the "British" Navy at the time... And there is NO truth to the rumor that the scale (1-12) is based on how many potatoes a certain strength wind can roll across the deck of a ship in ten seconds... No truth what so ever.
