If you live in San Francisco you are not hearing things. Maybe you are but in this case the Golden Gate Bridge is actually singing. You need a particularly strong wind to make that noise on the Golden Gate Bridge. It was very loud yesterday. It was almost as loud today. The wind is about to start we have an update on the big rush fire burning out in concorde. You see hothe fl ctothose homes. It is not clear at this moment if any were damaged.

It covers at least 150 acres and a in a very rural area. Fire crews from napa and Sonoma County are battling it. Strong winds cannot be helping.

It has always been a visual symbol of the city but now it has a new sound. Wilson walker on the upgrade causing the span to sing. And an incredible day at the bridge just for the protest alone but yesterday also a remarkable day for the Golden Gate Bridge. It started singing at least at a volume that could be heard clear across the city. Couldnt really describe the sound. I think i described it as windchimes and then when you go blow into a beer bottle it sound like multiple beer bottles. A home, a ghostly will. The noise is not so hard to describe but it is something they have been a hard time to identify. They have been chasing the source since april. What is the sound . I am alone because i am going through there. Am i the only when hearing that . I think it was last week and i was a little bit freaked out. On the bridge itself this is something cyclists have noticed in recent weeks. It is kind of like a whaling. A singing of metal. This is a part of the wind retrofit project where we have replaced the handrail so the bridge can be resilient to high when. Air can flow more freely across the bridge making it more resilient to win. It also produces the home we are hearing and the Golden Gate Bridge district says that was expected. They call this a feature of the new handrails. Yesterdays a very strong winds diode of the volume and the distance the sound could carry. People heard it all over San Francisco and some even said they can hear it across the bay in berkeley. We heard it as well in lower wind environments. It was a lowlevel home. Couldnt be really heard outside of the bridge. Yesterday is when we experience the exceptionally higher wind where we knew there would be an audibly higher wind. We live in Outer Richmond and we could hear it from our house. The real replacement is about 75 complete so the noise could theoretically still get a bit louder given the right to wind conditions. The district has no plans to change course on the projects the song. The heard the bridge seeing and it is something you will hear again. It is new. It will take time to adjust to it.

Seven cisco a 30 mile per hour gusts. Here is where we stand as a whole. Arndgusts. This is pretty much the peak for the day. We have seen the numbers keep climbing through the Late Afternoon. This is when they top out. Let me show you what happens next. We will keep the same theme with the color code. As i play this forward watch the colors go away. Once the sun goes down like yesterday timing is very similar to yesterday. In the overnight hours the wind will get better. And tomorrow it will get back. Not nearly as strong as today. We are kind of stair stepping our way down. Yesterday was the worst. Is today is still kind bad. Tomorrow is a strong breeze. Here are your numbers.
