Very much so. I notice it while driving on the 407, and when I'm putting out the blue box garbage on the street for pickup, but the worst is when I'm walking to a condo or hotel entrance for some fun, and my hair gets all messed up! 
So, I'm not alone. Sorry to hear about your hair, LOL.Very much so. I notice it while driving on the 407, and when I'm putting out the blue box garbage on the street for pickup, but the worst is when I'm walking to a condo or hotel entrance for some fun, and my hair gets all messed up!
Last year we had the floods. Maybe this year we get the wind.
For years now I have been noticing spring to be very windy. Trying to remember if it was like this when I was a kid.
On a different note, some lyrics in the song below are good. However, some of them should have been rethought.

LOL, as soon as I saw the title of this thread I thought of the song too!
Fall is usually a case of fighting weather systems, so winds not unusual. February is actually when Ontario usually gets its strongest winds.
I had to research all this stuff when I was designing a radio tower I put in my back yard.
Had to under the rules consult with neighbors, and in the process of that prove to them it was not going to jump off of its substantial foundation and spear though their house in a strong winf.
I did it DIY, and the strong foundation is a 5' square by 6.5' deep heavily reinforced concrete mass.
Neat thing is I live about 4km north of Lake Ontario, and 5' down found a layer of smoothed stones, ala a shingle beach, and the tops of them were all blackened with soot/carbon.
So this was evidence once a long time ago the Lake was a lot larger, and a forest fire burned down to its edge and left its mark on the water smoothed stones.

It's not just Fall. I ride a bike frequently so I am sensitive to wind. Maybe we will also be the "windy city" LOL.
Every day is windy in the Big Six. To-day is one of the really bad ones. Hang on to your dog or the wind will carry him/her away.
It ain't 365 km tornadoes though

Last night winds were pretty scary, my entire balcony glass was rattling and it broke my Christmas lights off.
I'm sure there is lots of damage around the city.

I am south of Ottawa out in the country and our power was out from 6 pm last night until 5 am. The only reason I know it was 5 am cuz I was up having a pee when it came back on..lol.
I was walking on Dundas yesterday and one gust was so powerful it actually stopped me in my tracks.
NYC can also be really windy with the tunnel effect of the tall buildings in a narrow space.
Yes, they can.
A few years ago a high rise crane on a building at Erin Mills and Eglinton collapsed on top of the building it was assembling after a strong wind from a thunder storm swung through.
