Who's walkin' down the streets of the city?

"Everyone knows it's w[i]ndy..."

Today there were up to 80 mph winds in London (or 99mph, depending on which website you read). It crazy! I thought the last couple weeks have been windy enough but last night I kept waking up from the noise of the wind blowing against the building. You can read about some of the damage on the BBC. There are also a few video clips there. One website claimed they were the worst storms in 17 years. I was out tonight and someone was talking about seeing some news clips of people caught on CCTV struggling against the wind and the rain. Unfortunately I couldn't find those videos but I bet they are funny. Apparently there were videos of people holding on to lamposts just to stay standing. I can believe it. My legs were getting a resistance workout just walking down the sidewalk to get a coffee.

Tonight I'll wear earplugs so I can sleep.
