Slow Wind Speed References
i did a lot of research into one of these for florida. They are great "slow startup". However they still need a good bit of wind before any real power gets going. At least, if I remember correctly, i determined that florida doesn't have enough wind to power anything more than a cheap LED light. My guess was you really need about 9mph, and I think my area's average was something like 7. So i wasn't really interested in hurricane only power.
