Average 70 MPH Winds Here

United States
April 7, 2024 6:52am CST
In Boulder it was 90 MPH and above. There are 150,000 without power in Colorado so they say, luckily we are not one of them at this time. The wind has been sounding like a freight train here for all day yesterday and now into the night and ongoing. I recorded a couple videos as I could. I am sure there will be much damage as a result of these notorious winds we get here. My place is like a wind tunnel receptor here on the frontage road to i-70.
Wild and Windy just how we like it??

@RebeccasFarm I hate when the wind blows strongly. In the youtube I noticed that the sky wants to open up and let everything out.

We have high speed winds warning here too. We were driving and the car was being pushed by the wind. But we got a sunny day so it was nice to see the clear blue sky.

@RebeccasFarm Yes they have floods too often. I am not near the shore but still on the Atlantic side so we still get the strong winds and rainy weather.

@RebeccasFarm We have quite a few towns which duplicate your names. I guess most of your names came first.

I70 is closed across the western part of Kansas due to blowing dirt. No visibility. Put some rocks in your pockets and hang on for dear life, girl.

Ugh! I saw the one video. Those trees looked like they would surely snap in two. Hopefully not. We are getting wind here too.

I do get scared of strong winds going through big trees . . . here we have to fear them falling as we went from drought to too wet conditions. Apparently we will be getting heavy winds tomorrow.

I saw that fire in Pueblo, fanned by the high winds. I’ll take our “high” 35 MPH winds that we had Tuesday instead.

@RebeccasFarm — the worst we’ve ever had was an 84 MPH gust, and we had that TWICE last year. The remnants of Hurricane Ike weren’t that bad!

I hate when the wind gets so hard, I'm sure glad we got the trees down that we were buried in so we don't have to worry about when the wind blows it can blow ALL it wants now.

@RebeccasFarm I ignore all the hype about hurricanes, I have been here for six years and only really saw the wind of one hurricane, I cannot afford to dwell on them with my anxiety,
