The dnc was in town and they all practiced thier speaches in the same direction.

 

[Sharp Shooter]

We were hangin at Camp Richardson and skied back in.

I'm going with the suspected erroneous part.......Those speeds would level forests and cause avalanches. I've seen what Katrina and Hugo did with far lower winds and left tons of pine trees flat on the ground.

We need to have an RDP Tahoe meet up.

Hell yeah, That sounds like a great plan, I know we will be at the house at Zephyr Cove near Nevada Beach for the Fourth of July

 

[GRADS]

Seriously, Let's plan something.

...Wind is blowing like a mofo in Noho...

 

[BassLakeCruiser]

that's insane. we were at china peak yesterday above fresno and it was getting after it up there too, They had half the mountain shut down.

Glad I didn’t go skiing this weekend.

time to go clean up the yard

 

[SoCalDave]

I'm assuming this 209mph was not a sustained wind but rather a gust.

 

[Nordie]

Blowing like pretty good here in Vegas, had to shut the crane down. Looks like an early day for us
