words of wisdom for the santa ana winds....

F**K YOU!

The wind through the canyon ripped the targa off my parked car (cleared the hood thank God) but road rashed it very nicely.

That is all.

I just had a block wall put in to fortify my house here in wind ally in the foothills of san bernardino after the wood fence decided to go airborne. Also cool story about the wind, at Cal State San Bernardino there is a east west facing building called U-Hall. There is a design flaw with the building that creates a wind tunnel effect during the santa ana's. Well this little 115lb girl fought her way through the wind tunnel to get in, she began to open the large metal door when a gust came through and SNAP. It swung with such force that it broke her arm. Tough way to learn about the flaw. Yes SANTA ANA's suck but I will take them over tornados's any day.
