"The next time you notice a strong wind blowing outside your house, go to the bathroom and closely observe the water level in the toilet bowl. The water level may be shifting up and down! On rare occasions, I have observed an amplitude of nearly four millimeters.

What causes the oscillation of the water level?" (Physics Brain Teaser)

Uhm, we're having 50+ MPH winds in Chantilly, VA, right now. The metal & glass roof of my office is making a horrible howling, and we're getting some wild variations in toilet water levels.

Can anyone explain the toilet water rising and falling by an inch or two??
