Pressure waves travel at the speed of sound, 343 meters per second, (making some assumptions about the cause of this phenomenon)you'd expect manhole charts covers a meter apart to be desynchronized by about a tenth of a frame

In response, not in actual choreography.
I'm pretty sure those pylons were shopped in from another video so no reason to assume the manholes weren't cloned.

That appears to be caused by surface wind force and not a sound-based pressure wave.

Maybe, but that doesn't seem like it would cause uplift like this. High speed surface winds would blow the covers away.

My conjecture is gusts pushing against a horizontally oriented sewer outlet somewhere down the line, creating pressure waves(which aren't sound based but do travel at the speed of sound) lifting the covers from underneath.

But there's a lot of non-wind related explanations, so I'm just guessing.

Edit: no the, ^^ that seems way more likely.

regardless of whether the covers are cloned, wind isn't causing that. most likely that's storm surge pushing seawater up into the sewer blasting air out the manholes

Wind can and has lifted dense objects, including manhole covers, before? You have a pressure differential between the manhole and the surface, which can cause rocking.

Yeah some napkin math says you need about 150km/h wind to lift a manhole cover, plus there's water sloshing around so that makes it easier

Koinu was packing maximum sustained winds equivalent to that of a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale with maximum sustained winds of 103 mph. However, a weather station at Lanyu on Orchid Island, Taiwan, reported a wind gust of 212 mph as the eyewall of Koinu passed over the observatory late Wednesday, local time, but this was not yet officially reported by the Central Weather Administration.

Alerts issued for Taiwan and the Philippines
The Central Weather Administration in Taiwan issued sea and land typhoon warnings Monday and Tuesday, alerting residents of the heavy rain and wind expected from Koinu. Beaches were closed beginning Tuesday in Kenting National Park, located in southern Taiwan, in preparation for the incoming storm conditions.
