There is even famous video footage of a normal powerfull wind (not storm though) that demolishes a large bridge. It happened that the wind blew at the same frequence of that suspencion bridge...
Also this, (funny, but very true): In the army they teach you to march, and each soldiers must walk in the same rithme. Everybody knows that. But, they also teach there that if you need to cross a bridge while marching, the soldiers may not march in the same rithme! But each soldiers must march slithly earlier/later then the one before him. This is because of the same thing, the marching frequency of a whole platoon marching in the same rithme could demolishe a bridge!
Thats absolutely crazy, the wind was at the same frequency as a suspension bridge, and it was demolished... suppose its one less job for all of the townies to break
Thats stupid, how could an army destroy a bridge, does that mean, if you wanted to break a bridge, you get a load of your mates, steel capped boots, and get them to march across the bridge in unison... not that i'll try it or anything lol....
The glass broke, it was right next to a speaker, and when I say speaker, I mean like a marshall stack
