The Other Windy City

So yesterday after the cookie phenomenon I got an email from my sister telling me she might not make it to Skype at night because there were some tornado winds in Monterrey. I got worried when she said that "everyone was fine" so I went to the super trusted ultimate Mexican source of information (...right), El Norte and there it was:



I loved it that they even made an "animated graphic" for this. Ahh Mexico.

I would not want to be one of those billboard companies telling clients that natural disasters are not included in their warranty... or still working for the advertising agency where I was in charge of media because I would be crushed by all of our clients asking for their billboards to go up again for free and now.
Also, thanks to the crazy winds, pollution levels went up to 460 Imecas, when the normal index is around the 100s.

Lastly... I didn't see any pictures of our giant USD $80M flag; did it fly away too?
I mean, this city goes into total chaos if a raccoon decides to step into a highway... let alone having a 1,400m2 (15,000sq ft) flag flying above the city!!!

Just look at this über-dramatic image of our flag
