Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I found this damage interesting because

  1. There are high winds here (coastal area) but the frontal area of a sign seems pretty small
  2. I thought they would make signs out of more corrosion resistant materials

These are only a few of tens if not hundreds of downed signs in the area

Having a quick look into it, it's clearly something that is calculated for but wind up North is clearly something else!
