TU: Wind meters on Duval County bridges will help decide closings

You just can't make this stuff up.  How did we ever manage without these I wonder (and actually, the article gives you that info)? I just feel blessed, don't you?   And yes, I am being facetious.   Our state is broke, our city is broke, our federal government is broke, and these folks are out buying wind meters for bridges (when many of bridges themselves nationwide need repairs)!

Every major bridge in Duval County is now equipped with wind  meters that will tell authorities when it's time to shut down the crossings  during storms.

The Florida Department of Transportation installed them this year at a cost  of about $4,500 each, including one on the Intracoastal Waterway in Nassau  County. Two more are set to be installed in St. Johns County on the County Road  210-Palm Valley bridge and the Bridge of Lions.

In the past, law enforcement at each bridge determined when to close them due  to high winds, said Pete Vega, FDOT intelligent transportation  engineer.

This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
