That makes sense. They are saying this is the windiest April since 1963.

Up here in Amarillo I saw Dorothy and Toto go winging by at Mach Jesus last night!

For this reason, this is not my favorite time of the year for fishing on the coast. When the winds do lay down, it will be summer time heat and time to hit the surf.

I drove through a sandstorm in NM on the way to CA years ago and had to pull over 3 times to clean the sand out of the air filter on my 64 Chevy truck to keep it running. I stopped and helped several people along the HWY do the same. I had to replace the windshield on that truck it was sandblasted so bad.

The wind is finally starting to abate here in W. Tx Christoval. Bring on the rain Lord.

Guides on Fork in 1992 (I think) said that it blew 24/7 without ever getting under 20 mph for 45 straight days.

Hard on the fishing guide bidness.

Ain't too good for the fishing tackle bidness either!!

same age
same thoughts

i have worked outside my entire career
we have never stopped work because of wind
until this year

Well i made it to Los Lunas, NM. I can attest that todays winds were just as bad as yesterday. The red skys driving thru W Texas reminded me the times it would rain mud in Wichita Falls from the dirt blown in from W Texas

I think it was June of 1995 that is was windy as all get out overnight for a couple of weeks or so. I was delivering newspapers to stores and racks back then. We had to put our papers together before we could deliver them and I had to figure out where the wind was blowing from...then find a car wash bay to park in to protect the papers from the wind. After several nights, I learned how to drive my stick shift Civic and slip the daily papers together at the same time.

This stretch seems worse. I wake up in the middle of the night and it's howling...go to work and have to deal with the wind...come home it's still blowing strong. Craziness.

It's wind. Every year there's wind. Sometimes with rain but often not.

I just pray we get the rain tomorrow that they keep talking about. It's dry around here

Still does, we get just enough rain to make it look like the kids were shooting brown paintballs at your cars.

We made it back to Runaway Bay today. Wind blew the whole drive home.

Not like this though.
