Does it Get Windy In Wyoming?

This is becoming a semi-normal weekly wind occurrence

I lived in Casper and have experienced 90 mph. It has knocked me down.

After living in SE WY for 20 years now, I always chuckle at weather & wind speeds elsewhere. In wet climates, tree roots aren’t as deep & the ground is soft, so our winds would be devastating. The biggest concern here on a windy day is to park facing into the wind, otherwise you might be in for an expensive repair on your car door.

Lots of windy places in the country. Wyoming wind has one advantage, at the altitude Laramie, Cheyenne, etc. the air is so thin that the wind has less force. I notice it right away because I am a biker and when I ride in Wyo, the air has less force at the same speed. Go down to Florida and go the same speed on a bike and the wind feels like it is trying to push you off the bike in comparrison. Just IMHO...

I'll take our Wyoming wind over living in tornado alley.

The wind keeps the riff raff out as my dad would say

[diamondintherough]

From FL and love wind especially Hurricanes!
I'd love the wind in Wyoming!

Finally, a place I can launch kites without running around in a field!

Got stuck in Casper a couple of years back, was going to visit with my youngest in Jackson, it was so windy they shut down the roads leading out of town.. had to scramble to find three rooms to spend the night.

I went to a shooting range west of Cheyenne today and abandoned because I couldn’t steady to aim simply because of the wind push on my body

Ropes or strapping over the tarp, maybe. If you can get your hands on some pallets you could put eyelets or nails in those and put the hay on them, then ropes over the tarp attached to the eyelets/nails.
Considering moving out there in a yearish. Thanks for your vids. I like wind.

Continuous battle for sure. Hang on to those car doors!😄

[TalonMerlin]

looks awesome. Imagine riding a bike into it... then turning around.

About the same numbers today here in the Nebraska panhandle. We last lived on the Sacramento Delta, I think it was worse there overall...lost sections of roofing twice in four years. Three story house there and only two story here, that might be the difference.

I wonder how fast people move away? You have to like the wind to deal with it constantly. I'm thinking about Cheyenne myself.

[paulbegley]

In some areas. You can see cows flying. So I heard.🌪🌬🌀

[comeconcon]

Looks like a storm brewing on the horizon.

[jjman]

Why not put up several wind generators?

[s-mtb]

Rope some old tires together. Windy, yeah and horrible. Don't move to WY.

[CornPopMillerJr]

Hmm....didn't you mention in your anti-land-buying video that it only gets windy on the eastern side of WY?

[batikwalla]

I considered moving to Casper for the cheap real estate a couple of years ago but decided the wind and dry was too much. I'm in Oregon and I'll take the rain any day every day over wind, tho WY is very beautiful on camera. The politics here are horrible and the cities are legit Sodom and Gomorrah but the coast and mountains are bliss. Y'all probably have no tent cities popping up out there LOL! Your wind is a good deterrent.
