Most people only encountered 50 to 80 mph winds. The 142 was 2,000 feet above. Talk about strong winds!

Local storm report indicates quite a bit of tree damage. Some towns in the mountains had quite a bit of property damage. Seems it was a very abnormal and strong mountain wave setup characteristic of the late fall and early spring. The strongest winds were not restricted to the leeside of the Continental Divide either.
