Wind Storm Rocks Seattle

By Brian | October 19, 2007 | Share on Facebook

From Matthew Baldwin over at Defective Yeti, we have this:

Note three things about this picture:

1) The text of the news story: “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.”

2) The tree in question is thin enough that the man seems capable of wrapping his hand entirely around it.

3) Despite the raging wind storm, the seven year-old boy in the background seems to be having no trouble walking his bike down the sidewalk.

Clearly, Seattle has a different definition of “raging wind storm” than does, say, Kansas, where a raging wind storm ends with green witches, ruby slippers and flying monkeys…

    When I was around seven years old, I’m walking to school in a storm, and the wind picked up me and my umbrella and carried me about ten yards in the direction I was walking. It was the coolest thing ever.
