MOSCOW (AP) — Russian media reports say that gale-force winds have blown a woman off her balcony on the Pacific island of Sakhalin. The Interfax news agency reported Tuesday that the 65-year-old woman from the town of Shakhtyorsk went out for a smoke on the balcony and was blown off, landing on a snowdrift below. An ambulance couldn't reach the house so the woman had to be taken to a hospital in the bucket of a construction truck.
