I'm quite surprised this has never happened before, back when I lived in Dalton, you could really notice how the nice, narrow paths between massive high rise buildings created crazy wind tunnels. You could move from shelter to a full on gale with only one step at any point, while the world outside of campus was only experiencing a mild breeze.
Inside the towers it was even worse, due to the couple of permanently windows at either side of the tower, with a very narrow corridor inbetween them. At times I had to wait for a pause in the wind just to open my front door! The wind pressure was a hell of a lot stronger than me.
Off to install Vista now, so hopefully see you soon, but who knows?
