The wind really has been insane the past few days, especially when channeled between certain buildings.

Exactly. And that's a scary thing (to me at least). All the giant SUV's that are so popular in the US have had their cockpits redesigned and resized to make them feel more car like, and more comfortable for smaller drivers.
