Well, I got that wrong

I was drivng down langley vale towards the Epsom Grandstand this afternoon in the high winds. It was starkly lit against the clouds and I just thought"They must have had to build that really strongly to survive gales". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ho...uated-after-high-winds-damage-grandstand.html. Oh Bugger.

Any point in taking it to the scrap yard?

Scary. I'm hoping the roof of Mollie's stable doesn't go the same way tonight.

Oops.

Somewhere, an engineer is now sweating, waiting for someone to work out it was him that didn't model his wind loads properly!

ETA: Sorry, engineers long term partner so that is the first thing I thought of! What a geek

I loved their estimate of 44 mph wind speed though. It would have been at least 100 MPH up on that roof. Still no excuse for the structural engineers however. It needed to withstand at least 200 mph.

Like I say, he's definitely sweating!
