Wind and Road Signs

[Thorin]

There was a big storm in Calgary today, 100km/h winds and lots of hail.  Here's a CBC story on it: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2012/08/14/calgary-weather-storm-lightning.html?cmp=rss

What really caught my attention was this video embedded in the story, though (mute the sound, it's annoying!  and watch the signs right to the very end): http://a.yfrog.com/img593/5126/i97mycbcrsefjucvmynphh.mp4

Sweet bippy that's some wind!

Nice.

Also, that's an improperly-mounted sign - they're supposed to be attached so well that the pole breaks before the sign falls off (you did catch that right at the end, didn't you?)

yep, that would mess you up good if it hit you dead on .
