Off the top of my head can't think of any. There was the FA cup match against Spurs which was a bit gusty but was played.
Have we had any home matches cancelled due to high winds?

Doncaster last year when we came back after the boycott was played in a gale.

There was a game around 20 years ago which was postponed due to high winds. The condition of the stands was in a poor state and a wind restriction imposed.

Before the new stands were built the rule was that if winds/gusts reached 40mph the match would be off. That would have ruled out tonight straight away.

Didn't they have to put vents in the back of the East stand because it almost took off during high winds?

Norwich at home one night in the fa cup at kickoff, I was in the scratching sheds, they handed out photocopies of a ticket that all my mates photocopied for the rearranged fixture.
Long way to come to be called off at kickoff

If it's the Norwich game I am thinking of it was the most spectacular fork lightning I have ever seen in this country. A cracking display from the South Paddock. Not surprised it was called off. ⛈⛈⛈
Edit: Also remember something about the wind speed restriction from the old stadium
