Windiest Day Ever
Posted by erin at November 13, 2003 04:44 PMToday, it is incredibly windy. It was too warm last night so I left the bedroom window open (attention potential stalkers!) and a fan on. This morning, I awoke to the sound of things being blown around the room, and we're not talking paper, we're talking CD cases... and the apartment actually shook with particularly good blasts of wind.
On the way to work I was hit with a gust of wind so hard on Broadway that I was moved forward slightly - I had to adjust my footing not to fall over. That is some serious wind, folks!
In New York you also get that lovely wind effect where bits of dirt get blown into your eyes and garbage careens around dangerously.

It was pretty windy up around here yesterday (13th) so you guys must've gotten the front from us. Except up here there's no garbage to land on you, just tree branches and pieces of hunting blinds (and ice fishing shacks, because yes, it's that freakin' cold already).

It was damned windy down here, too, and the earphones from my mp3 player kept getting blown off my ears.

Takako(my wife)was actually trying to walk forwards while being blown backwards. I had to anchor her. Funny funny.

So we know, scientifically, the force of the wind was enough to make 90-pound people blow backwards.

i wasn't blown anywhere; therefore, i must weigh more than Takako.

There may be an error in your calculation.
Hint: It might have something to do with the locomotion of boats.
