Danielle is supposed to come over after work today...Do you think I should tell her to go home instead??? If its going to be really windy, I dont want to risk anything happening to her.

Re: WHOA the wind IS bad!!!!!!!

Honestly it depends on what she's driving.. I wouldnt risk it.. but that's me.. im way overprotective of Jim. heh

If I were driving my MX there'd be no way I'd feel safe driving. You know how small that is.. the gusts are random so it could catch you at a curve when you least expect it.

Im sure it's probably not the worst ever.. and for now it's nice and bright out. If I had a heavier vehicle and knew to drive slow and cautiously.. id see no problem.. but I'd be careful.

I dont think the wind is strong enough to blow cars off the road.. i think she will be fine!

Re: WHOA the wind IS bad!!!!!!!

She has a 2002 civic....She is going to go home late though, and by the time she leaves I hear its going to be really strong winds....thats what im afraid of.

Re: WHOA the wind IS bad!!!!!!!

I drive a Civic too and I could feel the wind shaking the car a little this morning- but I'm also way out in the middle of nowhere so, not much to block any of it. I don't think she should have a real problem - not enough to blow her off the road. Just tell her to try and take it a little slow. I thought the really bad winds were supposed to be around the middle of the afternoon though?

Re: WHOA the wind IS bad!!!!!!!

you all must be getting the wind we had - last night and this morning we had severe wind advisories - 30-60 mph wind gusts etc.

Now we have sun and snow!!!

The problem is.. it was light this morning.. its been getting worse as the day goes on.

It was LIGHT this morning?? I almost got blown away! I literally had to stop in the middle of the parking lot as I was walking into work to brace myself against the wind... I can't imagine what could be worse!

Re: WHOA the wind IS bad!!!!!!!

We're on the 4th floor of a building on a hill. My boss has the 'corner' office with two walls of windows and it seriously sounds as if one of the panes is going to blow out any minute. I work for a SUNY, that should tell you alot about the condition of the buildings here.
