SF is approaching its Day of Reckoning.
“Pockets of wind are not all that unusual.”
I occasionally have gusts of wind in my pockets. I attribute this phenomenon to global warming and I vehemently assert that it has nothing to do with BBQ baked beans.
The fog rolling in can come on a pretty strong breeze, due to temperature variation I would assume, but that’s not typically a nighttime thing as far as I know. I used to like to go out on the Golden Gate to catch it rolling in on sunny afternoons, from sunny and fairly warm with a slight breeze to whoosh! fogged in and chilly in a matter of minutes, looked like a gray wall coming into the bay.
I’ve always heard that bridge being called “Bouncing Betty.” Had family out there, two uncles were stationed there in WWII and liked it so they stayed. One of them had been on that bridge before when it went off, not the final time when it collapsed, though. He talked about it a lot, must’ve been very memorable.
Well you do live on a ranch and there is the Blazing Saddles effect. ;-)
Someone fooling with the anemometers?
That's cool you had family who actually experienced it. Must have been incredible to see. The video link below is super...lot of different vids collected into this one:
Watch "Gallopin' Gertie" in Action
I’ve seen it, the guy left his dog in that car so I don’t like to watch, poor dog.
Think it’s called H.A.A.R.P.
It is only called HAARP if your fingers are working right.
Some things don’t change. The good news is the dog was rescued from the car on the bridge by a very brave Professor.
Source? I’ve been under the impression for many years that the dog went down with the car and the bridge.
Gust front or outflow from dying thunderstorms, it happens in Phoenix during the summer storm season.
It was in the video about half way through. Caption said the professor saved the dog at great peril to his own life.
I think it is the air between the ears of most San Francisco residents’ ears.
I saw something like that. Small size hail in a fully in New Mexico. Just that small location. Nowhere else. It was a cloudy day but nothing unusual except for that small area.
