Sorry, dancing is outlawed.

Signs that is. Might want to call the engineering department and get the rest of them checked.

Sweet! I'm not sure that I'd have driven under it though.

I think I would have detoured around the outside of the posts...

Around here we build those things like they're meant to hold up a highway overpass (not exaggerating) so that they won't move in the hurricane force winds. HUGE foundations on each side. I actually thought they were for some kind of bridge when the first one went up.

The new automated sign system is still in the works, but yes, 32nd Ave N is closed.

That sign's cousin is one of those dancing flower pots.

Limbo down.

Required Tacoma Narrows footage, because I'm a nerdy engineer and can't not post it.

I've got this feeling

That time's just holding me down

I'll hit the ceiling or else I'll tear up this town

Tonight I gotta cut

Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes

Please, Louise pull me off a my knees

Jack, get back c'mon before we crack

Lose your blues everybody cut footloose

and to think they remake movies that were in color and had sound???

driving around town the other day and got to a backed up intersection... cops directing traffic...

as we passed though I saw the light in the turning lane had fallen to the ground... knowing how heavy those things are I can't imagine the damage it would do if it landed on a car... in FL we hung those things on poles made to withstand hurricanes... so that was a interesting to see...

I usually show that to my engineering students.

And many of the them are familiar with the fact that the Whitestone Bridge (which is near us here in NJ) was designed by the same guy and is of similar construction. I've been on the Whitestone many times and always think about this.

We need more of these.

never seen one of those dance like that.. but I have seen the street signs on a single pole wiggle around enough to go flying... must have been quite a wind that day

I read that Wheatstone Bridge...

Carry on.

A big plexiglass panel fell off the side of a gas station once and nearly hit me right in the head. No wind or anything, it just fell.

I thought the Canucks were better'n us at everything?

Nope, we don't normally get sustained minds over 100 km/h (62 mph) like that storm was reported to have had.

In reply to Curmudgeon:

Our signs dance! How is that NOT better?
