    That's the one thing that has me on edge, heavy wind, fire, in the hills and no where to go. I've planned well with evac routes etc but...not kidding myself. That shit comes roaring "up" with this kind of velocity behind it...I'm DOA. STILL have not picked-up my two fire shelters, a huge prep gap and shear stupidity on my part (mental note to resolve).

    I live in a small canyon. The wind just blows like a banshee on days like this.
    There must be small dog warnings out.

    I was a genius and road my motorcycle the past two days, makes for a interesting 25 mile commute. Felt nice and sand blasted when I got home yesterday.

    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Just to make a short walk to your vehicle with these winds howling, you almost have to be real good at doping the wind like a precision rifle shooter.

    The reason its windier of late is that our state senators are sucking more than usual.

    Now that you mention it, no matter where you are in the metro area, the wind seems to be blowing on the direction of Colfax and Lincoln....

    Definitely need to be careful if you want a campfire with this kind of wind.
    For mine the other night I made a Dakota-pit type fire but made it pretty deep so the wind couldn't pick it up.
