    Gotcha! Windstorm that took out our warehouse wall...

    This is a major thoroughfare through our city, our warehouse is very close.We opened our bay doors yesterday and the internal vacuum caused a 40 x 200 foot wall to collapse.The wind, hail and rain attacked us without warning. A local brown guy took this video driving down Deerfoot Trail in Calgary, watch until the end


    *note - radio off at about 20 seconds

    Yeah the supports for those signs are made of the same stuff as streetlamps...about a foot diameter of metal.


    Me seeing that? - I would be in the left lane, foot on the damn pedal!

    Why were people slowing down? I would have sped the fuck up to get under and past that demon possessed sign as quickly as possible

    It's very strange....we call the road ' The Deerfoot 500 ' because people drive 60 mph and above on it. It traverses a good portion of our city and sees lots of volume usually. I think the wind was so bad, it was actually impeding some cars My supervisor had left for the day and returned because of our wall accident....he was on the Deerfoot and said the wind was throwing his SUV around...

    Yeah if that sign came down and hit his truck (even without breaking it) I bet he has a heart attack

    that's the slowest I've seen people drive on that road.....all of our traffic signals went down too, may have something to do with it
