A non-roadgeek friend of mine e-mailed this video to me the other day.

http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/wind-causes-highway-sign-to-bend/20768u8o?q=Football&from=en-us_msnhp&rel=msn&cpkey=805de3ab-98d7-4780-a0e5-8776a46bfdb5%7cFootball%7cmsn%7c%7c

It almost looks too unbelievable to be real (for one thing, if the wind was so bad, why isn't it apparently affecting the traffic on the highway), and I haven't found any news stories to verify that this actually happened.

Thoughts?

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

Thanks.  Should have checked the archives before posting - I'll try to remember to do that in the future.
