Those vertical wind gusts

Did you miss out on being blown around by today’s horizontal wind gusts, as I was, trying to cross from Skyline East to Skyline West (my names, given how awkward OT and CT are)?

When a wind gust encounters a tall building, it is forced to detour–usually up or around. Here is our neighbor Graystone and one of its nets to catch falling objects. Note that rough water out on Elliott Bay.

Looking WNW from Skyline 26th floor about sunset.
