I don't really think 30 mph winds would do shite to a float full of people while protected by trees and houses on a route.


There are these things called intersections, and the route has lots of them.

At best, where you're standing. My office is right off the route and does have real wind.

There are no trees and houses in them and they act like wind tunnels.

Have you ever been downtown with the wind blowing through those city streets between the tall buildings?

Also when the parades hit St. Charles past the circle that entire stretch is a wind tunnel.

That ain't no joke. We posted up one year on Perdido right next to One Shell. It was like 35 degrees, windy, and raining all weekend. The wind was like a steady 20-30 mph that weekend before Mardi Gras. We got absolutely battered between those buildings. It's all a blur of wind, rain, whiskey, and whip-its.

Please explain to me how a drunk lady running out try to grab beads between two parts of a tandem float, has anything to do with high winds?
