Electric Post in the Wind

Strong winds wrap themselves around the electric poles, as if in a power struggle to see if they can bring them down. The poles are sturdy and dug deep under ground, but the wind is merciless as it rattles against the cables and the bolts. You can hear the strain being placed on the cables, as the wind also beats against your own body, reminding you that you are also quite susceptible to its gusts of power. You can also hear the electricity moving like live wires.

In meteorology, winds are often referred to according to their strength, and the direction from which the wind is blowing. Short bursts of high speed wind are termed gusts. Strong winds of intermediate duration (around one minute) are termed squalls. Long-duration winds have various names associated with their average strength, such as breeze, gale, storm, hurricane, and typhoon.
