I'm sorry, but your weather is just rude. Sorry about the picture quality. Cellphone pic while trying to drive on a straight line. Saw 2 semi trailers flipped over between Douglas and Cheyenne today.

Dang, pic is worse than I thought. Basically, stay th hell off the road if you have a trailer or high profile vehicle. 70 mph winds.

And the people who get hurricanes complain about a little wind and rain just another day in paradise my friend! A picture on I-80 also known as the Sno Chi Min Trail

Helps keep the riffraff out. Yep. Trying to walk in a 70 mph breeze with you pants hanging down around your knee's doesn't work very well.

I wish I could find my pictures of the wind turbine by Rawlins that failed a collapsed due to a rather brisk wind gust. Folded right up.

Could be worse............Rock Springs Six of one, half a dozen of the other. They do, however, have some redeeming qualities. Folks from other states driving through Wyoming on I-80 stop in there, take one look and swear never to return to Wyoming, certainly not to move here. What's not to like?

The first winter I spent here I was complaining about the wind and a construction supt. I work with told me, "If it wasn't for the wind this place would be as crowded as Colorado". That's stayed with me ever since.

I have a pic from out there of a truck being used to stall the blades on a turbine while a blade was being replaced. The wind picked the truck up and over a crane. Expensive day.

And the people who get hurricanes complain about a little wind and rain just another day in paradise my friend! A picture on I-80 also known as the Sno Chi Min Trail �..I'm told that 30 miles both east and west of Laramie on I-80 is the most dangerous stretch of road in America. Last year when I drove to the SHOT show, I counted 9 big-rig trucks blown over on their sides between Laramie and Rawlins (about 90 miles).
