You also worry about Dumpsters if they have wheels, sheets of plywood at
building sites, power and telephone lines, outdoor tables,...but you don't
worry about smog building up in the valley.

Above about 50 mph, we measure wind velocity in either
	degrees - the angle to the vertical you lean when walking in the
		wind
	pounds - the size of a more-or-less round rock that the wind can
		lift (as in a "five pound wind")
