Just had a new guy on site ask me how I judge the wind for a lift

We were setting steel for a warehouse in Tacoma last month, and he pointed at my little flag on the jib. I told him I watch that flag, feel it on my face, and check the weather app, but mostly it's a gut thing from doing it for years. How do you all make the call when the wind picks up?

Ever try reading the trees downwind?

Wait, you can actually tell which way the wind was blowing from the trees? I thought that was just something from old books! How do you even see that?
