Post by: Bane on October 27, 2013, 10:39:51 pm: AAAAhahahahaha!!!!
It always amuses me that a wee breeze with moderate gusts of 80mph can result in headline news in England....thats pretty much a monthly occurrence during the winter up here. :P
If we get a windy day that registers gusts of 120mph,then thats considered breezy!!
It's the rare days where there is no wind at all that are unusual.... :stupid:
