to give you an idea how much wind is alot.

cross wind limits which is the wind strength blowing across the runway normally is about 30knts some types more some less.

head wind ie on your nose isn't even listed sometimes.

tail wind normally not more than 10knts (which is only an issue at some airports which have lumpy bits on the climb out in one direction).

So with a 80mph wind on your nose you can go and anything up to about 30degs off the runway you can go. It won't be pleasant for the first 3000ft but you can still go.

Landing with max cross wind don't be suprised to see the runway out of one of the side windows until quite close or a firm landing.
