Dinosaur's roar strong enough to blow objects?; Did any of the Dinosaurs possess a roar so strong it can blow inanimate objects?

Hey everyone :)
I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan, in Jurassic Park 1 (1993) during the iconic first appearance of Tyrannosaurus Rex, there is a scene where T-Rex's roar is so powerful that it actually blows off Sam Neil's hat off his head. Similar instances are in cartoons too.
Now to my knowledge i can't name a single 'living' creature today that is capable of having a roar so powerful it can blow your hair, or a tree twig/branch etc..
Lion can't do it right?....
Whales can't actually do it because they are underwater..
And i doubt any of the other 'Big Cats' can pull this off...
So SURELY the Theropods would be the best candidates for this right? Or they at least have the potential to pull this off?????

I think you'll find that in the scene you are talking about, the Tyrannosaurus is RIGHT in Grant's face, it is where Grant is covering Lex's mouth to shut her up and the Rex actually just exhales through its nostrils, blowing his hat off which is quite reasonable :) As to whether or not an animal as massive as the giant theropods could actually roar with force, you got me beat... but truthfully, I think it's just hollywood exaggeration :)

An elephant could probably blow someone's hat off with its trunk, I think a large theropod could definitely match it.

That would mean that it's been eating it's prey's shit.

It would smell like dog breath imo.

I've always thought it steretypical that theropods should roar. I've always imagined them as hissing or singing like whales.

Are you serious? Really, whales? I don't think any archosaur ever sounded like a whale...
