[H] OT - Too windy for windows today

2005-11-03 Thread Brian Weeden
Well it is a bit windy today here in Colorado Springs.  How windy?  I
work in Cheyenne Mountain and the current count is 53 cars with 1 or
more windows blown in.  Including a brand-new Escalade missing 3. 
Only upside is that the gov't will cover the insurance since you were
at work but still sucks.

Gusts up to 70mph are blowing off roofs and flipping over semis all
over the place.

Whoa.  That must be something to see.  In northern Cape Breton, they have a 
wind they call the Suwet (south west) that takes roofs off houses and wraps 
car doors backwards against the car, if one opens the door into 
it.  Apparently, when it starts blowing, everyone goes indoors and stays 
there until it's over.  I think it's about 120kph, so it must be similar to 
what you are seeing.

The Denver fan club comes down once a year or so for a tour.  During
the summer they film crews were here shooting new background footage
of military types going in and out of the access tunnel and the front
gate.

If you come I can show you the door labeled "SG-1 Access".  It leads
to a janitor's closet :)
