Weather Related Disaster Strikes

This is somewhat more catastrophic than my last post. Jealous that adulthood was getting all the cool headlines, the wind and cold weather decided it needed to strike too. Unfortunately, the target was a scaffolding up the block from my castle. Like the wolf of urban porcine lore, Mr. Puffy Cheeks kept blowing until it forced the mesh netting to topple the 6 story high scaffolding, crushing what lay below. Thankfully no people were injured, despite their best intentions. While live wires carried live electricity and current that could end lives, and sparks flew everywhere, and unlucky tree branches burned, people walked, roller-bladed or drove as close as they could. I couldn't help thinking of the scene in Die Hard With A Vengeance when Bruce Willis shoots at the power line and it hits the helicopter which in turn majorly explodes. Good thing that didn't happen.
