Very blustery here, too. I think I just saw Winnie the Pooh fly past my front window.

The wind has been whistling through the trees and the power lines all night long. A winter symphony by Mother Nature.

 

[Ninja108]

Same here gsdx. Our house is still here.. and somehow all the power lines are too.

An interesting report on how the recent Tropical Cyclone Yasi would compare around the world.

Quote:
The pre-landfall core was over 500km wide and its associated activity stretched well over 2000km...
...with up to 300km/h winds and up to one metre of rain.


The maps in the linked report give an impression of the effect if Yasi had hit North America, Europe or Asia.

Oh - and I don't think you'll get blown away (unless you're in a tent!)
