Today was especially bad here. Lots of roofs need new shingles

Slight breeze, betcha the kite flying was pretty extreme.

That’s one hell of a tumbleweed in the video.

It was about as windy as I’ve seen it here in the Madison Valley. There was a dust storm blowing across the flats at one point.

We tried working in Bozeman today...wind was blowing our siding material across the subdivision. Gave up.

Our kids play set with 8 anchors in the ground when I came home for lunch today in GF. Wind didn’t mess around today

I think our peak gust here was 74mph. I watched two trees come down onto houses cross the street.

One of my daughter’s friends heard a tree come down and went out to see what happened. Their neighbor was in her car and died shortly after from her injuries. While they were trying to help free her, another tree came down and crushed the middle of their house.

Ski area here hit 122. But at the house it was about half a normal spring day, so pretty breezy.

Good grief. That’s awful

Well it hasn’t slowed down once it’s hit North Dakota.

Judging by the sounds I’m hearing in the dark, I’m guessing we’re all maintenance guys today...

Good ole Wyoming won't be left out of this conversation.

We were without power from 7am to 4pm in town and still is out in parts. A ton of big trees down around town. None at our house, and no major damage in our neighborhood. Tree at our rental property hit the neighbors (a church) fence, no buildings nearby. Another another tree leaning.

Ya, very windy even for Livingston. Some people that lost not only shingles but entire roofs.

We live on a bench,,,so wind is normal in the winter,,,,,,,but yesterday was awful.

I looked outside and noticed the gate on the cyclone fence was open. The fitting holding the lock, twisted around the post until it let loose. I fixed it and was amazed how much force the wind exerted against gate.

We lost power for three hours or so. I can't imagine how difficult it was for linemen to restore power in those conditions.

Bird hunter's. youre gonna wanna lead them a bit more in this

 

[SaskHunter]

Winds were wild all night here, chit was flying everywhere. Still windy as hell this morning but not as bad as last night.

Snow drifts were pretty bad this morning.

I saw the tanks on my way home from GF yesterday. One was secured to a billboard and one had a tractor bucket on it. We had an 81 mph gust in Helena.
