How are Colorado DU-ers doing in this crazy wind?

Xcel is shutting down grids in some areas due to the wildfire risk. I-25 is closed in both directions at Wellington. There is already a fire outside of Pueblo. We are fine here in Lafayette, it's just LOUD. It might be a challenge sleeping tonight. So far, I have power.

Stay safe, everyone!

Loud enough not to sleep and it is driving my dog nuts. But, I still have power. hlthe2b Apr 2024 #2

at least in my area. Alas, LOTS of dust and debris, since they had to redo the sewer line for the maverik store and then clean up the mess. Gusts in excess of 60 mph.

Yes, stay safe, all in the affected areas.

and while barometric pressure is a big trigger for migraines for me, the wind is just a mild headache-inducer, so there is that.

The barometric pressure really gets me, too. Yesterday, I felt awful; today was much better. Hugs to you.

I just walked my dog for about an hour around the neighborhood with some wind, but mostly dying down and sunny. So, I too feel much better.
