Canada tested a 777 jet engine at 3/4 throttle 2m back, and it didn’t come close to Milton (though it did knock around a deciding truck)

Boeing 777 APU Air Velocity Tests Air velocity measurements were obtained 2.1 m (7 ft.) behind the Boeing 777 APU. The peak velocity recorded was 200 km/h. Excessive damage caused by the heat was observed in the vicinity of the exhaust and testing was discontinued. Specific temperatures were not recorded. Caution should be used when deicing this aircraft. Boeing 777 Three-Quarter Throttle Tests Approximately two minutes of air velocity measurements were obtained. Equipment was damaged and became inoperable during testing. Emergency escape manoeuvres were implemented to avoid further damage or injury to personnel. A peak velocity of 190 km/h was recorded. The stability of the deicing truck during this test was affected by an overwhelming wave of air created by the aircraft engine, and the truck was considered unsafe.
