Windy day (literally)

2nd April, Wednesday.

I never knew the destructive powers of the wind until i heard the news. Indeed it was another typical 'weird weather' in melbourne with winds blowing so hard it was literally hard to walk straight. A course mate of mine who was quite big in size was telling his story of being lifted and blown a meter back by the large gust of wind. What shocked me most was to hear deaths occurring as a result of it! Apparently a woman was killed by some bricks as winds reached 130km/h!

Tree brunches lying scattered on the roads and the strong winds didn't seem to link in my mind though on hind sight and having read the report, it should. Oh.
