Casualties of Wind

    Anyone see any humurous casualties of today's gale force gusts?

    I was walking towards Harcourt Luas (one of the windiest places on earth) today when a sudden gust blew. The man in front of me was mid-stride when the wind blew his non-standing foot in behind the other. When he brought it forward he fell on his face.

    I will admit to chuckling a bit bit I did try to help him up and myself to his wallet

    Saw a tree come crashing down this afternoon, and just had a quick thought. The resident squirrel population won't have very long to find new lodgings before tonight.

    I assumed it was about which way to aim the stream.

    Terribly dissappointed.
