See, I wasn't kidding about the wind

[tomato]

Those of you who remember my early posts, ranting about how the little Yaris couldn't take the wind across the Bridge, may be satisfied to know that the Yaris isn't the only thing not taking the wind. The bridge itself is having problems!!

Yesterday, a piece of bridge about 5000 lbs fell during peak commute (a cable snaped) on the hood of some car. 3 cars were involved but nobody was seriously injured. They closed the bridge down but high winds are slowing down the progress, and we won't have access to that bridge for an "unlimited time" until the repairs are complete. That bridge carries millions of people across to and from SF every day.
