+/- 100 MPH Winds Roar Across North China; Beijing Paralyzed; People Weighing Less Than 50kg Warned To Stay Inside

[hatrack]

I'm not making up the last bit of the headline - it's from BBC.

Workers have been told to hurry home, classes have been suspended and outdoor events have been cancelled as northern China braces for extreme winds this weekend.

Millions have been urged to stay indoors, with some state media outlets warning that people weighing less than 50kg (110lbs) may be "easily blown away".

Winds reaching 150kph (93mph) are expected to sweep Beijing, Tianjin and other parts of Hebei region from Friday to Sunday, as a cold vortex moves southeast from Mongolia.

For the first time in a decade, Beijing has issued an orange alert for gales - the second-highest in a four-tier weather warning system.

4. Holy crap!

I lived in Boulder when one wind storm was well over 100 MPH one night. Trees were uprooted, roofs were blown off, plate glass windows shattered. A coworker said he'd gone outside to tie something down but there were so many projectiles flying down the street he went back in.

I hate wind.
