What can the wind do ?


What can the wind do ?
Ans: It can break window panes !

So here we are (me and my roommates) all doing our own work, when we hear this really loud smash followed by the sound of breaking flass. We investigate to find the area next to our front door splattered with broken glass...

What does this have to do with wind ?

We had a small thunderstorm tonight. All the sound and light effects and some really strong wind. So, a really strong gust of wind picked up a plastic chair from the corridor in front of the front door and hurled it at the window pane next to the door. Net result = a smashed pane of glass and our living room gets a shower of glass. Luckily no one was sitting on the couch right next to the window.

(See the picture of the smashed pane)
