Check out this video of the amazing wind storm we had in Seattle yesterday.  Notice how the video caption reads: “Seattle was whipped by Thursday’s wind storm, so much that one man was forced to hold onto a tree to keep from being blown over.”
 
While watching the video pay attention to how A) the tree is probably 1/50th of his diameter, B) it is bending at about a 1 degree angle and C) how the seven year old is just casually walking his bike past this man in peril.
 
It was pretty impressive though.  I guess winds got up to 62mph in West Seattle.  Pretty cool.
