Questão

In the late 19th century, before wireless communication, lighthouse keepers kept detailed daily journals. On a remote cliff in Scotland, Keeper MacLeod recorded weather, sea state and ship movements in June 1894. One entry describes how mist gathered by dawn, reducing visibility to a few meters. Later, he noted the scheduled arrival of the lightship at 3:15 AM from the north. At noon, powerful gusts of wind knocked over a weather vane and bent a railing. The sea remained calm until evening, when a sudden swell rocked the lighthouse foundation. By midnight, MacLeod observed that the tide had risen almost two meters, nearly reaching the lantern room. Entries like these helped passing ships navigate safely. Analise the journal entry and identify the sentence that indicates the weather hazard caused by wind.
