Will typhoons knock down tall buildings?

A typhoon of magnitude 17 will blow down tall buildings.

This kind of wind is rare on land and is extremely destructive. Even sturdy buildings will be damaged. At sea, there will be extremely huge waves with a wave height of more than 14 meters, filling the sky with foam, and extremely low visibility. Therefore, the wind power of a super typhoon is significantly stronger, with catastrophic destructive power, casualties, and even the destruction of villages. China divides tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the northwest Pacific into six levels based on the maximum average wind force (wind speed) near the bottom center.
