wind

[love_tempo]

Bloody hell, our whole building is shaking here. We've had to move our workspaces away from the windows as they sound like they are going to implode. There's slabs of plasterboard flying off the roof of the building site and the police are directing people away from here.

I ended up getting up at 6:30am to record the wind today
Proper mental gales on the seafront here.

[love_tempo]

Just once I wish the electricity would go out when I'm at work and not at home.

and now a crane has fallen over near piccadilly and the windows caved in on one of the office buildings. safest thing is to hit the pub and wander home drunk through moss side/longsight/blackley in the early hours.

The new halls of residence built on the campus I work at got blown off today - good job they're not open yet, but they did fuck-up the car park.

The water was amazing though (the campus is right next to a dock) - was lashing the walkways!

[thembuzz]

funny, though. i've been out in it loads today, and it's definitely bad - don't get me wrong. but it doesn't seem that bad. i reckon all those people who've been getting hit with falling masonry and shit are just being hysterical

[Sway]

its so fucking loud in my roof flat...

Just a thought, but if building construction and maintenance in the UK was a little bit better some of these people might not have died:

A two-year-old boy died when a wall fell on him in Kentish Town, London....

In Stockport, Greater Manchester, a woman in her 60s was crushed to death when a wall toppled onto her in high winds....

London Bridge station closed for the day after glass panels fell onto the concourse....

And maybe somebody should buy a SNOW PLOUGH...

Central Scotland Police said several cars became stuck in snow on the A809 near Killearn....

edit- granted, most deaths were traffic-related, but maybe a little common sense would come in handy for drivers too: "70 mph winds, sounds bracing, think I'll go for a drive"....

Here, record THIS wind.

der neue hauptbahnhof hat ziemlich gelitten

22.33 Uhr Am Berliner Hauptbahnhof ist ein tonnenschwerer Träger heruntergerissen worden. Ein zweiter, ebenfalls mehrere Tonnen schwerer Stahlträger droht abzustürzen. Zahlreiche Einsatzwagen und -kräfte sind unterwegs. Es ist noch nicht bekannt, ob Menschen verletzt wurden.

23.35 Uhr Die Glasfassade des erst vor acht Monaten eröffneten Bahnhofs nahe dem Bundeskanzleramt ist nach ersten Erkenntnissen vom Einsturz bedroht. Der gesamte Hauptbahnhof wurde komplett evakuiert. Zunächst war ein zwei Tonnen schwerer Stahlträger aus 40 Metern Höhe abgestürzt. Der Träger stürze auf eine Treppe und zerstörte diese vollständig. Ein weiterer Stahlträger löste sich später ebenfalls.

wind is the one aspect of weather that i really dislike.... it makes everything so much more difficult... ie: biking uphill against the wind. fuck that shit.
