Swept off my feet Jan. 18, 2007

Guest blogger : Chris Clark (no relation as such):

Quite possibly the windiest week I have struggled through to date. I arrived home after a long shift at work, on opening the car door I was shocked by the speed with which it slammed on my leg. The second attempt and the same thing occurred, finally I was out only to loose my grip on the door and let it slip slamming into my trailing leg. This incident though painful was not nearly as bad as the wind that took advertising boards from a football match in Johannesburg careering towards the 22 footballers on field as well as a stand of spectators. Quite a spectacle and luckily unlike my leg no-one was hurt.

These are examples of the now milder, windier, winters and our ever changing climate.
