Typhoon Soudelor caused a ruckus in Taiwan and China a few days back. Included in the list of things the high-speed winds did was to cause this 747 to hop on its nose gear. This is, I suspect, less a matter of the wind over the wings causing the plane to lift up than it was the wind pushing the tailplanes down, lifting the nose. Either way, it’s non-optimal for passenger comfort.
